Normally I don't believe in many conspiracies. The ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico couldn't come at a better time for the greenies.
Just as we are about to start tapping our own abundant oil resources an explosion happens. The crude oil flows freely into the Gulf. The solution appears to be weeks or even months away.
The political momentum for America to drill has been stopped. The price of oil will rise. If this was an act of ecological terrorism it worked.

The people suffering along the gulf coast are now all 'greenies'. We are not just starting to tap our oil resources- the first oil rig was drilled in Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1859. Most of the land-based oil is now gone. The first rig in the Gulf of Mexico was placed in the 1930's. We have close to 4000 rigs in the gulf today, 600 of which are in deep water. Keep in mind that the U.S. currently uses over 35% of the total worlds oil yet has only 3% of the worlds' reserves. We cannot drill our way out of buying oil from terrorist nations.
