Absolutely they're whores! I thoroughly believe they would circumvent any monies from any project given the opportunity. Hopefully this bill is written with proper protections in place to assure the integrity of the Marine Preservation Fund. The entire bill will be online within days, lets see how the verbage is written. I beleive we will be reading a lot about the bill in dive rags and hopefully mainstream newspapers.
The platforms themselves are to be cut off safely below the water line and charted thereby preserving the underwater structure for recreational use. By the way Seahunt, maybe it's time to re-post your oil rig photos. They were great shots and very indicitive of this beautiful habitat which we're discussing.
