All 33 were in operation. If they weren't they wouldn't be out there. As many as 75,000 workers in the Gulf Coast area could lose their jobs as a result of the 6-month moratorium on deepwater drilling and halt on 33 currently operating rigs, according to a recent estimate by the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association. For each rig idled by the work stoppage, up to 1,400 jobs are at risk. That's total BS. These are the same people who brought you the crooked......I mean biased federal judge and his ruling today. Jindal has a different.....much smaller number and that's only if the ban lasts more than 6 mos......and even that number is exaggerated: "The drilling ban will cost up to 20,000 Louisiana jobs in the next 12 months to 18 months during "one of the most challenging economic periods in decades," Jindal wrote in a letter to Obama that was released on Thursday." articles.moneycentral.msn.com You all are playing like you are Yankee carpet baggers. Oh wait......you are a Yankee. Never mind.
