well if that is accurate:

50,000 barrels X 42 gal/barrel = 2.1 million gallons leaked per day

times roughly 20 days since the leak began = 42 MILLION GALLONS LEAKED so far

HOLY shite

Yeah, they said it is Valdez amount every few days.

Maybe that is why so much dispersant is being used - if it's not on the surface, it doesn't seem like it is as bad.

NPR always says the sky is falling. They are alarmists and love to embellish. It's like listening to a good novel read aloud. They thrive on things that can neither be proved or disproved.
