Oil, Oil, Oil.

A video simulation produced by ABC News showed that the size of the slick has tripled in size in just a few days (simulation starts at 1:25):


There has been a disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. It has caused a lot of damage and the oil spill has tripled in size in just a few days. BP is trying out a new system where they will lower 74-ton concrete boxes to the surface to help capture the oil. This will take about another six to eight days to get it to the surface. This oil spill has also shut down over 6,800 square miles of federal fishing areas. Marine life has suffered since this disaster took place.

There is a lot of chaos around the world due to oil. One example is America and how it has gone to war to find oil since it is in high demand in the world today. The world relies on cars for transport and disregard the environment. I think gas stations are slowly going to bump up the price since a lot has been spilled. Makes me wonder if this disaster was a sign, that maybe it was done on purpose to show all the damage the world goes through for oil. I understand it takes people a long time to switch to environmentally friendly vehicle since it is costly. However, in the long run, you will be helping yourself out when there is no more oil left. In conclusion, I hope BP manages to clean up the oil and repairs all the damage it has caused so far.
