This Gulf Oilspill
 

Is about to become a disaster of monumental proportions. It's in the Gulf Loop Current. Soon to be in the Atlantic Ocean. Guys, the next fish you catch could be your last.

:smash:

And the 5k barrels a day is way under the truth

NPR has a discussion based on review of video setting it at 11,000 barrels a day or 610,000 gals a day.

i know its HUGE
but a hundred thousand truck loads of hay
delivered via barge can save the day

Most of the oil is staying below the surface , There is no easy fix. I saw that vidio too.

then we can start a thread biatching about the cost of Milk and Beef....because of the cost of feed in the cattle industry is so high do to a shortage of it...:hihi:

A URI oceanographer says it won't hit our beaches. The gulf will be a dead zone for who knows how long , what degree has the fish in Prince William Sound recovered 30 years later?

Close to 200 dead endangered turtles now in the middle of their egg laying season. :fury:

And blame ethonal for it:uhuh:

This should definitely put a dent in BP's bottom line.

They should charge them tghe full price of the cleanup, as well as for the loss of livelyhood for ANY fisherman that loses money due to the gulf becoming a "dead zone".

I had heard/read a cap of around 74 million as a fine, but Isay screw the cap and charge them the whole ball of wax (or oil in this case).

There was a Federal law passed within the last 5 years after Valdez which limits liability to $75 million. There was talk several weeks ago of making an exception to this law for this spill. I don't know if it happened. You and me will end up paying for it somehow. Probably higher taxes after snowbama steps in.

"The BP executive in charge of fighting the spill, Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles, said he understands the public frustration. He told the CBS "Early Show" on Friday that in the worst case scenario, the gusher could continue until early August"

Will impact bluefin spawning.....

"A panel of experts assessing the rate of flow of the oil since the disaster began gave a best estimate on Thursday that was 2.4 to 3.8 times the estimate of 5,000 barrels a day offered for weeks by BP."

The tab for BP is going to be based on the amount of oil lost...you think they have motivation to underestimate?
