Since the April 20 "Deep Horizon" drilling platform oil leak caused
the explosion so far, the Gulf of Mexico has been immersed in deep
brown oil for 40 days. Even more frightening is that the various
attempts to prevent the leakage of the basic program failed, crude oil
continues to flow from the seabed emission, the Gulf of Mexico is
Acer as07b41 Battery
suffering from an unprecedented catastrophe, the disaster may not be
limited to the local environment.
The failure of attempts to prevent oil leakage
May 29, is thought to control this year in August prior to the Gulf of
Mexico oil spill situation, "drowned Law" failed. Further escalation
of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, people's assessment of the disaster
became more pessimistic.
"Gulf of Mexico crude oil spill in U.S. history has become the most
serious ecological disaster." U.S. White House energy and climate
change policy adviser 卡萝尔布劳 satisfied in May 30 that if all
existing methods of oil wells plugging leaks not work, oil leak may
have been continued to August after the construction of relief wells
will stop.
"Leakage of crude oil per day may be nearly 80 million gallons, and
this figure is likely close to 100 million." According to Associated
Press, some scientists study the Gulf of Mexico in the case said after
the blowout, the Gulf of Mexico crude oil leaked than previously
Acer as07b42 Battery
estimated amount of at least more than twice the maximum five times
more. According to the U.S. cable company said the leak of crude oil
per day capacity of 12,000 to 2 million barrels a day.
Secretary for the U.S. Geological Survey 马西亚麦克 Nate on May 27
that two geological survey teams using different methods of
investigation show that the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is the worst in
U.S. history of similar incidents, the total leakage In the 17 million
to 39 million gallons between, much higher than in 1989 off the coast
of Alaska in the United States the "Exxon Valdez" oil tanker oil
spills is much more serious. At that oil spills in, namely, 11 million
gallons of crude oil spill.
Gulf Coast environment is suffering from the "disaster", experts say
pollution may lead to the Gulf Coast 1,000 miles-long destruction of
wetlands and beaches, fishing, damaged, fragile species.
"Now this time is particularly sensitive, because many animals are
preparing to spawn. In the Gulf of Mexico bluefin tuna is a large
reproduction, their eggs and young fish floating in the sea; seabirds
are nesting. As for the spawning sea turtles, the beach was destroyed,
its effect is lethal. "拉里克罗德 said Duke University marine
biologist, a major oil spill would destroy the entire ecosystem and
the establishment of economic activities in their on .
University of South Florida oceanographer Weisiboge more worried about
is that oil will be involved in the Gulf of Mexico sets of flow. Once
in cover flow, oil pollution from spreading to the Straits of Florida
just a week or so; one week, Miami Beach will see the oil. Crude oil
will flow into the set of pollution of sea turtles national park, the
local coral reef death, then within Everglades National Park,
dolphins, sharks, waders and crocodiles will be affected.
With the oil spill area continued to expand, grease will be washed and
even some small islands in Louisiana. According to media reports, in
order to prevent leakage of oil infiltration of fragile wetlands in
Louisiana, U.S. officials ready to begin construction in the
Mississippi Delta, a large-scale sand berm. U.S. Coast Guard Admiral
Allen on May 27 approved the construction of the island in Sikefeide
1.82-meter-high sand berm plan.
Or translated into economic and political disaster
The oil spill for the Gulf of Mexico is a huge ecological disaster,
and for the U.S., could evolve into an economic or even political
catastrophe, it causes the loss is still incalculable.
According to foreign news, oil spill affected by the Gulf of Mexico,
the United States on May 25 announced the expansion of the local
fishing area 20 thousand square kilometers. Currently, the U.S.
government has announced that Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama as a
"fishery disaster" status, these three states are rich in seafood by
oil pollution.
Florida Peng Sacola Fisheries Association chairman, said no other
major industries of local coastal areas, fishing is the main support
the local economy, oil pollution to the local people brought
incalculable economic loss. Be affected not only the fishermen, from
the wholesalers and retailers to the processing plant, the seafood
industry chain will be a chain reaction. Information, the Gulf of
Mexico Fishery output up to 6.5 billion annually, second only to
Alaska fisheries.
According to U.S. media reports that Missouri, the current oil spill
has already affected the local economy, seafood and imported food
prices have been rising gasoline prices could result. If the spread of
oil polluted the Mississippi River to the busy shipping port, the
effects will be disastrous.
Some experts said the oil spill has increased the risk of the U.S.
economy second bottom. As the United States Government shall be used
to expand the emergency clean up the oil slick, the disaster will
greatly increased the federal deficit.
As the delay in sealing leaking oil well, the Obama administration is
facing increasing external pressures, its ability to be questioned.
CNN's latest data on Internet users opinion polls show that 51% of
Americans deal with this oil spill on the Obama express their
discontent, 60% of the respondents think that the Government can not
afford to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents in future.
In addition, the oil spill could force Obama to change policy on
offshore oil and gas exploration. This year on March 31, Obama
announced the expansion of the U.S. offshore oil and gas field
development, in order to ensure that the recent U.S. energy security.
And only two months, due to the impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil
spill, Obama had announced the suspension of offshore oil drilling and
exploration.
Obama said in May 27th, two along the coast of Alaska to oil
exploration projects scheduled to be suspended, the Gulf of Mexico and
Virginia Hp dv2000 Battery
coastal oil drilling lease sales will be canceled, federal
agencies will no longer be within 6 months of release The new drilling
permits, the existing Gulf of Mexico deep-sea oil well exploration in
33 activities will be suspended.
Currently, mid-term elections, Obama is facing the Government, if they
can not handle the oil spill, then the crisis will likely spill into a
Gateway m360 Battery
political disaster. To this end, the Obama administration is trying,
in the "drowned Law" declare defeat, Obama immediately said, "We will
Hp dv6000 Battery
continue to look through any and all responsible Tujing block
leakage." Moreover, he not only connected Government high officials
went to the Gulf of Mexico sent disaster relief arrangements matters,
I haveHp dv6500 Battery
a high profile to the disaster area to restore the image of the
government and the public trust.
