In a
couple of days it is the five year anniversary of the Gulf of Mexico spill. It
was a huge disaster that killed eleven men and sent millions of barrels of oil
into the Gulf of Mexico. This disaster occurred since the drill pipe
malfunctioned. This certainly was a horrible disaster that President Barrack
Obama faced. It took almost forever to clean that gulf, and officials are
unsure if it has spread to other areas that they did not search. Obama does not
was any more catastrophes similar to this. In order to stop disasters like this
one happening, President Barrack Obama is imposing an offshore drilling rule.
The government is sure that this rule will play a major role in stopping
further catastrophes from happening. This regulation that the government
proposed would be the third biggest new drilling equipment regulation. The
Obama administration has really been trying to fight this. The rule on the
drilling equipment is expected to tighten safety requirements on blowout
preventers, which are devices that are the last line of protection to stop
explosions in undersea oil and gas wells. The Obama administration has also
announced that new areas of federal waters off the Southeast Atlantic Coast for
drilling will open up. Environmentalists have gone mad. They are infuriated
with this idea from the President.
Obama
is taking a big step in imposing this drilling rule, expecting to stop
catastrophes similar to what happened in 2010 at the Gulf of Mexico to not
happen. Will the President succeed in providing the county with safety? Results
will show.
