New Oil Well Cap Appears to Be Working
Posted on July 16, 2010
There appears to be some great news on the BP oil spill. The new cap appears to have stopped the leak. President Obama warned that we won't know for sure until we have a permanent solution in place.
President Obama said, "The key here right now is for us to make decisions based on science, based on what's best for the people of the Gulf -- not based on PR, not based on politics." He also said, "And that's part of the reason why I wanted to speak this morning, because I know that there were a lot of reports coming out in the media that seemed to indicate, well, maybe this thing is done. We won't be done until we actually know that we've killed the well and that we have a permanent solution in place. We're moving in that direction, but I don't want us to get too far ahead of ourselves."
