The extraordinary hype surrounding the alleged extent of the damage done to the Gulf of Mexico by the BP (NYSE:BP) oil spill has been found to be over-exaggerated, as has been the response of the Obama administration to the tragedy.
As Fox Business points out, it would be a huge mistake to continue on with the response of Obama to not allow drilling in the eastern portion of the Gulf or along the Atlantic coast until 2017.
The relatively low impact of the Gulf oil spill embarrassed radical scientists who were making doomsday predictions almost from day one, while attacking reports on the damage that weren't lining up with their wild projections.
What the Obama administration and the Interior Department are attempting to foolishly do is create a scenario of perfection which simply can't be attained.
If you get human beings and technology together, you can limit damage and improve practices and safety, but no one can achieve perfection.
To throw that on the drilling sector is part of the radical goal of extremist environmentalists who want to eliminate the use of oil altogether, among other elements of their anti-human agenda.
The bottom line is oil and energy companies need to do the absolute best to ensure safety, but even in the best of conditions there is always the human factor to take into account, and nothing in the world can make people into error-free workers.
Even with the photos of fowl with oil from the oil spill is nothing compared to the absolute destruction bats and birds receive from the so-called "clean" energy of windmill forests. They kill in a very short time more birds and bats than all the loss of wildlife from the BP oil spill.
The American people will be those who suffer from this, as our reliance on foreign oil and energy increases so the political fallout from another possible accident isn't incurred.
Response to the oil disaster by Obama is a bigger blow than the oil spill itself, other than for those who worship the earth and other religious connotations related to their "mother."
Some predict gas prices could reach as high as $5 a gallon by 2012.

Hype? You need to think again, fellow American. The notion that the gulf is "cleaning itself" is a premeditated construct of "hype." Pretty words and wishful, PR-driven science will not mitigate what has actually happened. The complex chemical carnage created by the blowout and BP’s sacrifice of the long-term livability of the Gulf of Mexico for the prospect of keeping its precious wellhead intact is lurking beneath the waves, far from the media's myopic tunnel vision. An important video from After the Press explains what is really happening, and that BP knew all along that it would:

Biff,
what causes more environmental damage? Putting a thousand odd barrels of natural oil into the bottom of the ocean where it enters the food chain, from where it came; or burning those same thousand odd barrels of oil and putting them into the atmosphere via you car tail pipe?
You should not just be worried about the "long term livability of the Gulf" but rather of the entire planet.
Whilst 4% of the world's population continues to burn 25% of the world's oil, the rest of the world knows who the real villains are.
While you're spot on about the long-term livability of the planet and who "real villains" are at this particular juncture in history, it's six on one hand, half a dozen on the other regarding which sort of environmental damage is moving us faster toward the abyss. If some of the other 86% of the world suddenly got their hands on a Lexus and easy access to some four-lane blacktop, you can be sure they'd hop on the bandwagon just as fast as any evil American. It's human nature to screw things up royally. Our dependence on the benzene ring for all our magic tricks (chemicals, plastics, etc., as well as fuel) has painted us into an evolutionary corner from which we might not escape.
