Show Notes
The God Squad, a U.S. government panel, convenes for the first time since 1992 to consider exempting oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from the Endangered Species Act. This move, driven by national security concerns and President Trumps push for increased fossil fuel production, has critics worried about the impact on rare marine life. The panel, established in 1978, has only met three times before, granting just two exemptions. The decision comes amidst a backdrop of environmental concerns and recent oil spills in the Gulf. The outcome of this meeting will be closely watched, as it could set a precedent for balancing energy security and wildlife protection.
