I thought it was, they have not a clue to how much has come out
Someone posted a report on FR several weeks back which had a graph which showed the spillage comparisons of the Deepwater Horizon to the Valdez. At that time the Deepwater spillage was just a small amount compared to the Valdez. Now it has supposedly surpassed the Valdez and I was interested in whether it has passed the 1972 Sea Star, The 1967 Torrey Canyon or the 1988 Odyssey. The graph shows the amount of spillage in Tonnes. 7.2 Barrels of oil is equal to (1) tonne. The Valdez spill was equal to 37,000 tonnes. I guess the Deepwater Horizon is more than 37,000 tonnes.
Estimates of BP and other scientists range from between 5,000 to 100,000 barrels a day. BP says they are capturing significant amounts of it, but I think they are just kidding about that.
