Have they thought about the gas and how the air curtain will affect that and what the consequences of it will actually be are
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist on Sunday announced two new efforts -- funded by oil giant BP -- to keep crude from the state's shores.
The first effort will begin with three barges, and could grow to as many as nine, configured in the shape of a boom to protect Destin Pass in the state's western panhandle. The barges would funnel the oil to an area where it can be skimmed, according to a press release issued by Crist's office, which did not give a date for the project to begin.
The second effort involves creating an underwater ``air curtain'' of bubbles that would push oil from the depths to the surface.
BP also is drilling two relief wells that technicians hope will pierce and cap the gushing oil well. Drilling on the wells began in May and is expected to be complete in August.
``The relief wells continue on track and are making good progress,'' David Nicholas, a BP spokesman said Sunday.
Nicholas said BP already has located the point at which the relief wells will intercept the existing well, by using sensitive electronic equipment that detects differences in the rock's electromagnetic field.
