The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

Is the media/government overreacting to the whole BP oil spill?

The only oil that has showed up on the Gulf shores are little tarballs that can be easily cleaned up. Only about 200 animals have died, compared to hundreds of thousands of animals dead from the Exxon-Valdez spill. The use of dispersant has broken a lot of the oil up so it can be broken down further.Not even that much oil has reached the shore. Is everyone overreacting to the whole spill?
