"Sunken Deepwater Horizon Rig Still Leaking Oil." Days after the deepwater Horizon drilling rig sunk to the bottom of the Gulf Of Mexico, oil continues to leak from the bottom of the ocean as environment experts try to come up with a way to stop it. The latest idea to stop the oil from flowing into the water is to cover the hole oil is flowing from with a dome. If that does not work, the next step would be to drill a relief well near by - but that process could take weeks or months to complete.
For the most part, I believe that offshore oil drilling is a good idea considering how dependent the United States is on foreign imports of crude oil. However, the longer oil continue to leak from the former deepwater Horizon oil rig the more public opinion will turn against this process. Sadly for major oil companies, this ecological disaster occurred within weeks of the most liberal President (Obama)in years stating his support for more offshore oil drilling. Pretty bad timing for the oil industry.
