Not to argue with what has been said...nor the pros and cons of drilling, or any of it...but from what I read, this "a lot all at once" is threatening to do disatrous damage to the ecology and economy of the gulf states. I doubt, for all affected, if it will be "old news in 5 months"...that would be better news than what they are facing. Of course, this IS regional for now...but it will have a wider effect, obviously, as time goes on. It is tragic.
