Of course it is a political decision as it has become a political problem, but it is also the prudent thing to do. I strongly disagree with the premise that we can continue to drill and pump oil from extreme depths at this time. From what I have read the systems, processes and oversight are completely inadequate for dealing with the issues and forces involved, let alone for dealing with a blow out as is clearly demonstrated by the inability of both BP and the gov't to stop the current leak and clean up the mess. Our reach has exceeded our grasp.

As mentioned... we have drilled at colder climates, deeper depth and not exceeded our grasp..
I am also not arguing if there should or should not be a hold on drilling... I do have an opinon, but what I am saying is that it is not BPs fault that there is a hold... using what you say... BP showed the problem exists.. but did not CREATE the problem... the problem was there for all operator and all operators should have to pay for the solution... not just BP...
