BP Oil Spill to gusher until August

ENVIRONMENT - BP's out-of-control Gulf of Mexico oil spill is costing America billions of dollars per day in clean up costs and lost revenue... and due to the failure of the recent "Top Kill" method of trying to plug the leak its now estimated the leak will continue to gusher until August.

The BP Oil Spill is now the worst environmental disaster in American history, harming fish stocks in the Gulf and is now spreading to the Atlantic seaboard.

United States government and BP officials are warning that the blown-out deepwater well may not be shut off until August as the company begins preparations on a new but uncertain attempt to contain the leaking crude.

The new plan involves sheering off a section of pipe and attempting to put a stopper over it so the oil can gush to tankers waiting on the surface.

BP is still refusing to bring in supertankers which are equipped to suck in oil/water and separate the two. Instead the supertankers are being used to ship oil from other oil rigs so the company can maintain a profit.
