NEW ORLEANS — A U.S. judge on Tuesday blocked the Obama administration's six-month ban on deepwater drilling, complicating its efforts to improve the safety of offshore oil operations after the worst spill in U.S. history.
A drilling platform is seen near the site where the Deepwater Horizon oil platform sank as work continues to contain the oil leak on May 9, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico. A federal judge has blocked the Obama administration's six-month moratorium on deepwater driling in the Gulf Of Mexico June 22, 2010. The White House announced that it will immediately appeal the ruling.
