It appears that the well may be permanently sealed...
Since the popular news is no longer following this story so intensely, I thought you might like this update from the NY Times.

On one hand, I feel joy that the oil is no longer gushing from this well. On the other, I feel a sense of dred because I believe so much has been and will be swept under the carpet in terms of the real effects this will have on the Gulf.
Will this get buried under the next story of a big disater? Just because this leak is capped, does not mean there is much to do in development of ways to stop this kind of mess. Will we actually change policy and institute safe guards? or, will people forget about this just because we don't see oil floating on top of the water or the tar balls on beaches? Will people realize just how toxic this is in the long run for wildlife and the food chain if we don't have live video streams of that oil gushing? Will resources to avoid something like this again be allocated? Will deep-water drilling continue to be accepted and given approval? Yanno.... see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil... |

I hope people don't forget about this in terms of what has to happen with deep water drilling. And the Gulf people are a long ways off from any kind of security in this mess. And then there is the upcoming hurricame season that is looking pretty severe. GeezzzzzzUUUSSSS!!!! |
