Florida has long history of being extremely hostile to offshore drilling, goes back decades. When your beaches are a major economic resource, this makes perfect sense. Loiusiana, otoh, has one beach, Grand Isle, and I can personally attest it's nothing to write home about.

Not much of an economic engine, though. Btw, in another life, worked out of Port Fourchon, just to the west of Grand Isle, on a workboat on charter to Amoco, now part of BP. I learned to watch my speed im Golden Meadow!
Man, just saying I'm familiar with offshore oil in the Gulf and with Grand Isle. The last bit was about a notorious speed trap enroute, in case the individual responding was actually familiar with Grand Isle.

I will take Grand Isle, LA over any place in Florida in a heart beat.
