As an American, given that this spill will effect states beyond our own, many of which don't drill overshore, I think being safe is the right call.
As an American, there is much more immediate and long term consequences for this moratorium than the potential environmental impacts. The spike in the price of oil (and gas) was essentially the straw that broke the camel's back for the economy in 2007. We have a very tepid "recovery" (if you can even call it that) that could be derailed by a similar circumstance, which is much more likely when you shut down exploration (which, as has been noted elsewhere, will be far longer than 6 months as companies move rigs and personnel out of the GOM).
Remember, there is only ONE leaking well in the GOM. Shutting down the GOM is not going to do a damned thing to stop the CURRENT leak. It will not result in a single re-directed asset to the cap/recovery effort.
America stands to lose just as Louisiana does.

That is EXACTLY what this idiot has planned. His comment "oil not going anywhere" is so telling. He knows this and once they gain control of O&G industries, they'll resume exploration and production.

This is the greatest line EVER. Seriously, what more do we need to do to the environment to screw it up?
What potential impacts are you talking about...they are not potential, the shite is impacted.
It's shite statements like yours that really concern me. You act like this one incident is not big deal since there are multiple rigs operating safely. If we cannot control this one why should we feel safe with the rest?
