Drill When?

Regarding the natural disaster we are creating in the Gulf of Mexico. The Exxon Valdez had a capacity of 1.26 million barrels of oil when it ran aground in March of `89 resulting in it's "spill" though not all of that capacity was leaked. At the rate the sunken oil rig in the gulf is "spilling", it'll take a little over 3 weeks to equal the Valdez in scope without regard for lives lost.

Don't seem to hear much from the "drill here, drill now" crowd lately.
