Oil Spill- Worst In American History

Hello everyone. Upupin here.

As some of you may know, an oil pipe has exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. This happened about 1 month ago, and we still have not fixed the problem. All of this oil could destroy the entire Gulf, leaving all of the fish and plants to die.

This is the worst oil spill in American history, and possibly in the entire world.

"On Thursday, officials upped their estimate, saying the well has been gushing between 504,000 and more than 1 million gallons a day into the Gulf. BP and the Coast Guard estimated soon after the explosion that about 210,000 gallons a day were leaking."

As you can see, this is a growing problem and will take around 10 years to fully recover from if we fix this soon. Officials are trying to look for the best way to fix the problem, but it can't be decided yet.
