Oil Spreading Fast by Claudia Sonea

The oil leak is spreading fast and BP Plc seems to be overwhelmed by the situation. Since the rupture of the oil well took place on April the 20th, various methods of capping it have been tested, but without any success. Six ROVs were deployed to close the blowout preventer valves and now there are political and environmental pressures on the company to stop the oil leak before it reached land. Obama and his administration is requesting the British oil company cover all expenses with the cleanup of the oil leak and to repair the damage caused to other industries in the area , like fishing. Florida, Mississippi! and Alabama expect for the oil spill to hit beaches at the latest on Saturday in the evening. The coastal areas will lose financially over 2 billion dollars and environmental y the proportions of the catastrophe are hard to even imagine. BP is losing money too and the oil spill is spreading with a rapidness that requires immediate action. Many of those who supported the offshore drilling in California are now withdrawing from the project, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger included. As it is, the rig explosion hampered with Obama’s plan to open up new regions to offshore drilling, but it was a victory for the environmentalists. Although Obama announced that pressure is made for the British company, at the end of the meeting the US Senate Committee approved a $68 million plan to help those affected by the spill. Thus, the Brits do the bad things and the broken plates are paid by the Americans. Stay c! onnected, more to come…
