One of the worst oil spills in the history of the United States threatens the Louisiana coast. Follow the development of this "national disaster" and its disastrous consequences for the environment. U.S. authorities step up efforts to limit the effects of oil pollution on biodiversity. Above: A bird smeared with oil. (Los Angeles) The dome of restraint placed on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has not worked as expected. Next step: launch debris. The BP is now planning to throw debris to plug the leakage of oil, after a setback occurred with the dome of restraint, whose opening is blocked by ice crystals. Yesterday, the authorities said that a new method could be used: propel bits of shredded tires and golf balls to block the valve underwater. "The next tactic is what they call junk shot (launch debris)," said Thad Allen, Commandant of the Coast Guard program "Face the Nation. "They will take a heap of debris, shredded tires, golf balls, that sort of thing, and send a very strong pressure in the valve to clog and stop the leak.". Engineers are also considering the possibility of flowing mud and cement into the valve Spill. Boats fitted with special pipes feature more than 1.5 km would be used in that event. Pouring concrete is a long and arduous process that could take two to three weeks to complete. Saturday, BP had to remove the dome of restraint placed to collect and channel the oil. The inverted funnel at the top of the dome was blocked by crystals of frozen mud. The engineers had anticipated the formation of ice, but they predicted that the process be phased over a longer period. For now, the dome was moved 200 m from the spill and relies on the ocean floor until a decision is taken. BP does not exclude the possibility of propelling the hot water or other hydrocarbon out of the way blocked. "I would not say that the operation was a failure, said Doug Suttles, senior executive of BP. What we have tried Saturday night .. did not work as expected.. " The construction of the dome of contention almost 100 tons lasted two weeks. The dome was to channel the oil to the surface, where boats would have harvested. The well, which projects 800,000 gallons of oil daily, is located 80 km off the coast of Louisiana. Over the weekend, the tar balls were found on the Alabama coast, 160 km from the spill. These pellets will be analyzed to see if they come from the spill. Efforts to contain and combat the oil spill have also continued this weekend. Nearly eight million gallons of a mixture of 10% oil and remaining water were pumped, and 1 million liters of chemical dispersants were dropped on the oil slicks on the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, has calculated the Associated Press. Approximately 190 boats and over 4,500 people participate in cleanup efforts, which are also involved 2500 volunteers.

Sunday night, BP was part of a small forward in its efforts to contain the oil from the leaking wells Deepwater Horizon. After two failures, a team of underwater robots had managed to establish a long tube of 1600 meters in flight. If the boat cleaner fails to stem the tide finally black, it will be in good company. For nearly a month since Deepwater Horizon has sunk in the Gulf of Mexico, and the oil company, as government officials have designed a myriad of solutions to stop (or at least contain) the spread of the spill. Before the idea of the tube, a giant bell had not managed to limit the leak, blocked by "crystals of water ice deep. BP also plans to test a "clogging up" of wells that would require deployment of a "mud plugging" composed of cement, and maybe golf balls and rubber tires. A Florida contractor has proposed to contain oil already surfaced using barges, hay and a "giant combine, and an association is currently asking the public to send them hair, hair animals and stickers that are used to make nets to block oil and booms.
