RE: Just how much oil is spilling into the Gulf?
@AlexKovnat
first of all the oil won't be lost... thats what the absorbant boons ar for, they litterally just haul them out, wring them out, and ship out the oil.. btw thanks for your concern about the ocean in thast area which is being killed off which barring mass extinction doesn't really have precedence.
@Integrateful
the ocean is vast yes... but oil is EXTREMELY durable; hard to break down. in nature it takes SEVERAL DECADES... leaving it to nature for for the ignorant... and unfortunately BP's shoddy idea aren't much better... even MUCH smaller spills have taken 40-50 YEARS and still persist to be a problem... in nature oil isn't supposed to EVER be in water, aside from mass extinction possibly and even that would be MUCH less oil in the same area and over MILLIONS of years... its our desperataion for for cheap energy dirty energy for the almighty dollar that put in in the water... we SHOULD be almost entirely green powered plus nuclear (including fusion) corporate greed (the inevitable outcome of capitalist based economies) dictates otherwise... and they don't give a damn about any of use and even less about the ocean, after all the ocean can't buy oil... the russians proposed about 3 weeks ago how to fix this, and they done it before, however BP doesn't have the means, and america doesn't have the will (or they too proud to take advice from russians)
and as for "Even now, after many weeks, hardly a tiny fraction of it reaches the shore 50 miles away"... I REALLY HOPE, you live near the south east coast where this is happening... because hurrican season is comming... and while that will progressively clean the oil out of the ocean it will create problemn obviously you can't imagine... for instance how many time have hurricane flood water been on fire?, thats now a very real reality.... luckily i live in canada and as such am not effected other aside from the economic consequences of this that will reach into canada and the media reports constantly pointing it out the oil spill (as they should be).
as for your comment about obama he is also to blame for the continuence of this spill, he could order a tactical nuke be dropped and detontated on top and completely and PERMENANTLY seal the leak... but then BP would lose a well... and america (mr.capaitalism) just can't have that that would be too socialist/communist (LMAO)... i say every country should do what venezuela did (nationalize the oil companies), esspecially since governments are far more capable of handling the inevitable catasthropes, which happen more than people know.
and yes the oil companies are on the "bleeding edge" of oil recovery technology... because they want the oil to sell for their own gain at the expense of the people and in this case a few small states worth of the ocean, but they have not intrest in any real solution, as a real solution means they lose the well entirely, whereas this way they can keep extracting it even at the expense of the ocean (and maybe even drive oil price back to the "good ole days" of above $138 a barrel; its just over half that now... and again the US hasn't got the political will to step in in fix it as they should have in the very first week.
