President Obama’s

man in charge of oil spill operations, retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, has reported pressure readings are not rising as high as expected. This is disturbing news because this could mean there is another oil leak somewhere. On the positive side the readings could also mean that the oil well is starting to dry up after months of leakage.

Gradual Higher Pressure Readings

The pressure readings show a gradual increase which is a positive sign considering a decrease could spell disaster. Nevertheless, the well head is thought to be damaged and methane build-up is a potentially explosive catastrophe. BP didn’t help matters by pouring tons of dispersants in the well to mix with the methane.

President Obama and retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen are warning the public not to celebrate to soon – and for good reason. The oil spill is a mile below the Gulf of Mexico’s surface resulting in extreme pressures. GOD help us.
