According to an April 30 report from AOLNews.com, the White House said today it is halting all new offshore drilling in U.S. waters until there's an "adequate review" of a massive 600-mile-wide oil slick that has begun to drift into Louisiana's wetlands. British Petroleum pledged to reimburse people whose property is damaged by the spill.
