BP Oil Spill Update: Integrity Test To Go 24 More Hours
Written by Bayoubuzz StaffIn what could be one of the most cautiously optimistic statement made so far since the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig and subsequent massive leaking of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, the National Incident Commander Admiral Thad Allen issued this statement concerning the well integrity test.
"The federal science team has been closely overseeing BP's well integrity test with the goal of first doing no harm to the well. Based on the data and pressure readings compiled to date, the test has provided us with valuable information which will inform the procedure to kill the well and a better understanding of options for temporary shut in during a hurricane.

Obama, Louisiana, Congress, Gov’t : Something Must Give
Written by Bayoubuzz StaffSomething has to give. The federal government has run up obscene budget deficits, yet Congress and the Obama administration continue to push for more spending. State and local governments are financially strapped and must prepare for the loss of the federal stimulus money that the federal government has sent them to help balance their budgets for the last two years. Governments at the federal, state, and local levels have been resisting the need to make deep spending cuts. Instead, many have passed higher taxes on their constituents and all have waited for the illusive economic recovery that never quite seems to arrive.
Louisiana Gov. Jindal, nungesser, Taffaro Praise With BP Oil Spill Progress

BP Oil Spill: Test Stops Flow In Gulf Of Mexico
Written by Bayoubuzz StaffThe BP oil gush has for now stopped flowing in the Gulf of Mexico. For the first time in almost 90 days, the ruptured well is capped.
During the last several days, numerous speakers appeared before the President’s oil spill commission to plead for the resumption of drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Even the commission, which did not contain one representative from the oil and gas industry, was inclined to support the lifting of the moratorium. This commission was formed by President Obama to study the oil spill disaster and to make sure that another one does not happen in the future. Yet, there have already been hearings in both Washington D.C. and New Orleans. Much is known about why the disaster occurred and the mistakes that were made by both British Petroleum and the federal agency charged with oversight of the drilling operations. To prevent future mishaps, more vigorous oversight is needed, but drilling in the Gulf does not need to be stopped.
One North Louisiana Voice: US Political System Is Broken
