OIL SPILL

The night of April 20 the 2010, off the coast of Louisiana, a Deepwater Horizon rig exploded, killing 11 workers. The oil spill is expanding into the Louisiana's coasts and the Gulf of Mexico. Experts estimate that this oil spill would be greater then the < charset="utf-8">Exxon Valdez tanker spill off Alaska in 1989.The one who released 11 million gallons and was the worst spill at sea.Louisiana wasn't ready for this and is called in state of emergency. The oil company, asked the government fot help from the naval to stop the oil to invade coastal areas. Some fisherman are being asked for their boats to help the navy to control this terrible man-made mistake. The damages this will cause to the wildlife in that are terrible.Louisiana was recovering from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, some parts of the flora and fauna were rebuilding in the damaged areas. This oil spill will kill many of them and for sure damage the conditions that people in the costs of louisiana live in.The slick is being blowed and carried by currents and now threatening 5 states.

There aren't many solutions yet to this problem but people should start worrying more about it and start acting.The Pentagon sayas that the air force will be spreading chemicals to destroy the slicka and stop it from spreading, some people are concerned that this could cause more damage to the eco-life.The company is suffering two solutions but their solutions will take a long time to be done. One of them is to pipe up all the oil and bring it to the surface, the other is to drill a well to capture the oil and to switch off the release button.There are some orange barriers to keep the oil from expanding into the coastline. This oil spill will kill many oceanic life. OYSTERS, SHRIMPS, LITTLE FISHES, PELICANS, TURTLES, and many more animals will suffere the price of human mistakes. The world now revolves around petroleum and with something like this happening world will face with the loss of the millions of barrels lost in the deep water will be gigantic, the loss of a non-renewable resource that every country in the world is fighting for. This should encourage scientists and inventors to create another source of energy for the future of automobiles.
