New Orleans – the response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is being dealt with an abrupt, but sound reaction from the White House. President Obama already deployed navy ships and military personnel to take care of the whole situation and also monitor the overall progress.

This oil spill is one of the biggest spills in the history of mankind, due to its significant nature. Right now, the spill is expected to affect the coastline of several states and the slick is only 3 miles away from coastal Louisiana.

Governor Bobby Jindal has been prompted to announce a state of emergency meanwhile; the National Guard is going to double up its efforts in trying to make things better. Around Pass-a-Loutre, a 40,000 feet of boom was placed because the slick was expected to hit Mississippi River first.

Jeffery Short – Pacific Science Director for Oceana believes that this oil spill isn’t being handled in the right manner. At this rate, our movement is going to put stress and fatigue on those pipes down there and this is going to cause more leakage. So it is not a good trajectory and the way to handle this issue.

Another suggested method for handling the spill was to drill some sort of relief wells, which would enable crews to plug the gushing cavity with mud, concrete or some form of dense liquid. This project is supposed to be initiated in the next 48 hours BUT it could take 3 months or more before the leakage can be plugged somewhere.
