subject: The U.s. Government Will Strengthen The Exploration Of New Energy Control System [print this page] HC HVAC & R Network The Gulf oil spill incident, nearly 4 weeks. Operators, "British Petroleum" has been unable to prevent the leakage of crude oil and to find practical ways to prevent environmental pollution. This has caused great American professionals and the public attention and concern. They again called for stronger regulation of the energy exploitation, especially for offshore oil exploitation should implement more stringent control.
17 White House officials said the United States, President Obama will set up a presidential commission to
Survey the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. And 1979, the Commission Pennsylvania nuclear power plant at Three Mile Island accident and the 1986 "Challenger" space shuttle explosion similar to the Committee set up specifically to investigate the oil spill, and offshore oil exploration on the major regulatory changes.
United States has been prohibited in certain waters to oil drilling. Before this incident, Obama has just announced the opening part of offshore oil drilling. Obama has been halted in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coastal waters of some new oil drilling leases authorized plan. Government's current priority is to intensify efforts to monitor BP, the oil well to prevent leakage of oil under the sea. Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano in the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee testified that the government has invested more than 17,000 federal, state and local staff and several thousand trained volunteers are working to protect the Gulf of Mexico coastline.
BP Chief Operating Officer Suttles 17 in United States television audience that the company is using the last two kilometers of pipeline to extract the crude oil transported through the funnel-type device to the surface of the tanker. Has taken a break of about one-fifth of oil leakage of oil. It hopes to collect half of the leakage of crude oil. But some scientists said that the four wells in the water jet is a lot of oil.
Oil spills affect the current major southeastern Louisiana. However, some experts worry that, with strong currents can bring down the oil slick along the coastline to a few hundred kilometers away, polluting beaches and wetlands. Leakage of crude oil may be down the circulation tide, around the Florida peninsula, which reached the U.S. east coast. BP estimates that damaged oil spill 5000 barrels of crude oil per day. Scientists believe that the number of leaks of crude oil is far higher than this figure.
Oil spill has severely affected the region's commercial fishing and tourism livelihoods. Currently, Louisiana fishermen are prohibited fishing. Many of them oysters and fish life living by fishing, and some even spend more than 30 million U.S. dollars acquisition of vessels and fishing gear. They feared that the oil spill and lose their livelihoods and future investment. Within two years have been able to recover some money, and now seems likely to vanish. The oil spills on the environment and the potential damage caused by marine life are also more serious than originally expected. The large number of seabirds inhabit coastal areas, dolphins and marine life, oil spill threatens the fragile local and diverse marine environment, will cause the impact on local tourism.
Same time, "the American Petroleum Institute," Sarah, senior economist, that although most people and many politicians on the oil spill worries, but they still believe that energy production from domestic resources will bring the United States to many economic benefits. Oil spill after repeated public opinion surveys show most Americans still support the increase in offshore oil exploration. Because the U.S. dollar in the output than oil imports, but also export jobs. If you choose to drilling for oil in China, will produce enormous economic benefits, create more employment opportunities.
Houston, "Rice University Baker Institute," said energy expert Medlock, people spill response is in the environmental and economic interests in a dilemma. The oil industry on the performance of this incident was very calm, either for the oil spill itself, or the handling of the BP oil spill way, we have not made any radical views.
