Drilling for oil in deep water is always dangerous and full of an unpredictable risks and what’s going on nowadays in the Gulf of Mexico is a strong reminder.
According to many oil expert, this is not the first time that such an accident has occurred in the history of the drilling in deep water, and usually they resort to dangerous weapons ( nuclear weapon) as the only available solution in order to cup the field and stop the oil spill. This spill which has started on April 20th, is estimated to have gashed in the sea until now more than forty thousand barrel a day, and no real solution is expected to be found in the coming days. The damage on the American economy is compared to that of the 9/11 according to Barack Obama. And on the environment is still to be figured out.
In Mauritania, we should take all the necessary steps to shield our country from such a disastrous accident and ban any drilling in deep water in the future.
