Another New Idea on Helping Oil Spill - July 13, 2010

The latest idea on choking off the spillage has come to public. A new "tighter-fitting cap" was lowered over the blown out well on Monday. The idea is to slowly start closing the valves on the geyser of oil. The plan is to methodically slow the pressure of the oil pumping in hopes the the cap will hold on long enough to build the reserve tank that is said to be done in late August. The hope is that the oil with travel through the machinery which acts as a stopper, or it will travel through pipes and be taken to collection ships. Who knows if this will work? This is another attempt that will be proven right or wrong in a short time. With 180 million gallons pumped into the Gulf thus far, let's hope that this will be better than the previous attempts.
