Officials offer glimmer of hope in containing Gulf oil spill
Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen said a new cap could be in place by July 15 to better contain the Gulf spill, with a relief well nearing mid-August. The plan involves a thick steel cap on four risers connected to containment vessels, potentially capturing up to 80,000 barrels daily. BP said the collection cap could halt the flow if successful, while relief wells progress toward permanent closure. Weather risks and dispersant studies noted, with EPA reporting similar toxicity among dispersants and BP reducing usage.
