20,000 barrels/day x 120 days x 42 gallons/barrel = 100.8 million gallons of oil released,"

I am a loyal Rush fan, and was listening today while driving my husband home from a Drs. appt.

I heard him say this, and thought to myself that Rush isn’t taking into consideration that the oil isn’t spread out all over the gulf, but is in bunches, and the bunches are washing ashore, killing the marshes.

The marshes are where most of the gulf life spawns, and are protection from the storms and hurricanes. They can’t be cleaned the way beaches and birds can.

I understand his point, but not sure I agree with him on this.
