U.S. government panel exempts oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from the Endangered Species Act, citing national security concerns and energy demands. The God Squad committee, last active over three decades ago, unanimously approved the exemption, potentially threatening marine life such as the Rices whale and sea turtles. Critics warn of increased spills and ship strikes, while the Gulfs history of disasters, like the BP Deepwater Horizon spill, raises concerns. The committees decision sets the stage for more Gulf projects, like BPs five billion dollar deepwater drill, sparking debate over energy demands and wildlife safeguards.
