Though non-binding, a report released late last week by the Bipartisan Policy Center should provide momentum toward the lifting the deepwater drilling moratorium currently in place in the wake the of the Deepwater Horizon disaster.

The BPC, a Washington based non-profit think tank, was founded by four former Senators, two each representing Democrats and Republicans, and has been dedicated to, “develop and promote solutions that can attract public support and political momentum in order to achieve real progress.” The BPC was asked by the federal government’s National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling to review the effect of the moratorium and the response by both industry and the government.
