Of course, a lot of them are the same morons whose refusal to accept any nuclear power is partially responsible for this disaster. Nuclear waste, unlike oil spills, doesn't float away.
Unless there's a meltdown. And the nuclear industry has a better record on those than the oil industry, barring Chernobyl.

Alternative energy is a pipe dream for now, though.

No. I support the basic safety regulations that are already in place.

BP says it's already spent $990 million. The question is how many billions it will end up being. *NM*

The fact is, no one knows how much oil has been leaking.

I prefer the more conservative number to media hyperbole.

Well, considering the original conservative number has been proven drastically wrong.

70,000 barrels a day is obviously hyperbole.

But you'd agree that half-million to a million gallons is a pretty reasonable estimate?

I think it's probably under 20,000 but could be as much as 30,000. 70,000 is way too high.
