Some interesting politics behind the decision can be found at the link above. I think this shows that the economic impact on the Gulf region outweighed any environmental concerns. But it seems likely that more regulation can be expected regarding the technical problems of fixing oil spills in deep water.

 

I think it's the right call. What do you all think?

IMO the ban was an overreaction. So I too think lifting it early was the correct choice.
