The Gulf Oil Gusher has been active for one month today. |
|
It began on Apr 20.
BP says 5k barrels a day, scientists say as much as 10x that, or 50k barrels a day.
5,000 barrels a day is 210,000 gallons, 50,000 is 2,100,000.
Hence a median average would be 25,000 barrels, or 1,050,000 gallons per day.
That means that approximately 31,500,000 gallons of oil have been dumped into an ecosystem with poor circulation. :(
