Governor of Louisiana won't allow the foreign-offered skimmers (from the Netherlands and Norway --- the best in the world) and the dredgers they offered to come. No way Jindal can see those sand berms he's been hyperventilating about EVER get built in a timely enough manner to do much good WITHOUT that extra dredging support being allowed in. Simply taking all of the US Gulf-based dredgers for the project will add many MONTHS to any completion date... but the oil will already be ashore by then.

By KRIS HUDSON A federal appeals-court panel on Thursday quickly rejected the Odumbama administration's bid to keep intact a moratorium on deepwater drilling while it appealed a federal judge's decision overturning the ban. The three-judge panel ruled that Interior Secretary Ken Salazar didn't prove the U.S. would suffer irreparable harm without an immediate ban on exploratory drilling in deep waters. "The secretary has failed to demonstrate a likelihood of irreparable injury if the stay is not granted," reads the panel's decision, issued late Thursday shortly after the panel heard arguments from both sides in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. "He has made no showing that there is any likelihood that drilling activities will be resumed pending appeal." The Interior Department didn't have immediate comment. The decision came quicker than expected as the judges announced Thursday that they would rule by early next week.
