Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico
The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a huge problem right now in the news because it is effecting many things. The oil continues to leak through and into the ocean. The United State is started to take action to help clean this mess up. Currently right now engineers and scientists are trying to stop the flow of oil that is under ground by using the most advanced technology there is. Barriers are also being used right now to hold the oil back to keep the people and the Gulf Coast safe. The United States is saying that there are three companies that are at fault for this, British Petroleum, Transocean, and Halliburton. There have been disputes going on throughout these three companies because they are all trying to blame it on each other. British Petroleum currently is trying to use a chemical dispersant which will hopefully break down the oil before it gets to the surface of the water. Environmental conditions right now is a huge issue. Many animals lives are at risk or have already been taken from them. The Gulf Coast is their home and now it is being destroyed. If the oil spill is not contained this could carry on throughout other waters and endanger the animals and life that live in other areas. This is a big mess in our world right now and hopefully they can take control and contain the oil.

ReplyDeleteYes hopefully they can take control of it. It is getting very bad.
ReplyDeletethey will solve it quickly i just hope that there is something that can save the oil and that it can still be used
ReplyDeleteI agree, this is a very bad situation. I think though, they they should try a little bit harder to get the oil, or some of the species who inhabit the water, could be almost wiped out! That would be so terrible!
