More importanly the Oil Spill Commission (which consists of exactly zero experts in oil drilling) is in disarray because they dont know what their assignment is and have to go back and find out. Of course when they are told its a dog and pony show designed to promote Blowboys energy policy, they should decide it isnt worth their time.
Commission co-chairman William Reilly, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency, has wavered since his appointment on whether the panel might have an opportunity to recommend changes that might quickly soften President Obama's drilling ban.
At first, he embraced the possibility, then entered the panel's first meeting Monday by saying the Department of Interior had discouraged the commission from the task. Then, he and others were surprised to learn from U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu on Monday that a new moratorium had noted the commission's role in possibly speeding up a resumption of drilling.
Having had a chance to review the Interior Department's latest statement, Reilly noted the shift.
"The new moratorium does specifically mention this requires us to review what specific recommendations we can make over time," Reilly said.
"While this (review of the moratorium) is not a specific responsibility of this commission, I hope we will shed some light on the moratorium in terms of how we can do it better should an incident happen again in the future," said Reilly's co-chairman, former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham.
