Oil still not under control. by Milota Sidorova

The oil rig near Louisiana coast has become a battlefield. For more than a month, British oil company BP struggles to stop the oil flow that created a giant leak killing environment and economy of four American states. Moreover data processed by BP were not right. According governmental based team of scientists the pressure from the well was at least from two and half to five times higher than reported, so precise quotes could amount up to a million gallons oil per day drained in the sea.So far BP didn't stop the oil and all of previous atempts have failed. Neither giant underwater robots, not concrete and mud technologies could stop the flow. The only success was the compe! nsation filling – the mechanisms have joined broken pipes and they've been pumping about 65 barrels oil a minute.But this is not making situation any better. Political pressure is rising, these days even president Obama travels to see the leak himself. Congress has been discussing tough regulatives and bans on high pressure drilling in Mexican Gulf and it is possible that these new rules (along with the catastrophe) will halt total oil production from the area. Mexican Gulf has been producing up to one third of American oil consumption past years. Politicians seem to be angry and promise that BP is going to pay for everything. The pressure has risen and forced several step downs, for instance Elizabeth Birnbaum resigned from her position of a director of the Minerals Management Service, since the agency has been critized over lax oversight of drilling. Investigators want to label all responsibles, but this is clearly move on the net and the net is reaching high –! ; just in the centre of Washinghton. “Drill baby, drill&! #8221;, the motto of the last Republican presidential campaign has now turned into a tragedy, filled up with lot of annoying irony.
