I am incapable of understanding volume measurements. My eyes went crosseyed at Tom's post, and I still have no idea what it was about. Except the oil part, of course. But yes. That may have less to do with being European and more to do with being me. I swear I have some sort of dyscalculi.

Assuming the government is right, and 210,000 gallons of oil go into the Gulf each day... Tom - 03/06/2010 01:47:55 AM 840 Views
The estimates are always going to be rounded figures. LiterateDog - 03/06/2010 02:23:35 AM 608 Views
True enough about activists, but the alternative energy folks have pretty good evidence now. Ghavrel - 03/06/2010 02:30:55 AM 662 Views
Alternative energy is a pipe dream for now, though. LiterateDog - 03/06/2010 02:40:41 AM 711 Views
So you support greater regulation and oversight of offshore oil? Libby - 03/06/2010 09:30:25 AM 637 Views
No. I support the basic safety regulations that are already in place. LiterateDog - 03/06/2010 09:55:42 AM 628 Views
The current basic regulations are not enough, that's the point Libby - 03/06/2010 10:15:19 AM 686 Views
BP says it's already spent $990 million. The question is how many billions it will end up being. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/06/2010 02:25:41 AM 259 Views
Well BP better be spending money cleaning up the gulf. Roland00 - 03/06/2010 03:03:10 AM 580 Views
That's a lot of oil. *NM* LordPerrin - 03/06/2010 03:58:18 AM 276 Views
The fact is, no one knows how much oil has been leaking. Libby - 03/06/2010 09:48:25 AM 610 Views
Straw man alert! LiterateDog - 03/06/2010 09:57:59 AM 652 Views
Of course, unfettered private sector ‎can do no wrong. right? Libby - 03/06/2010 10:27:19 AM 655 Views
fixed for you scalius - 03/06/2010 04:32:37 PM 630 Views
Actually...let me fix that again Libby - 03/06/2010 07:07:36 PM 637 Views
I prefer the more conservative number to media hyperbole. Tom - 03/06/2010 05:52:07 PM 703 Views
Well, considering the original conservative number has been proven drastically wrong. Libby - 03/06/2010 07:28:27 PM 619 Views
70,000 barrels a day is obviously hyperbole. Tom - 03/06/2010 08:45:03 PM 626 Views
But you'd agree that half-million to a million gallons is a pretty reasonable estimate? Libby - 03/06/2010 10:34:58 PM 684 Views
I think it's probably under 20,000 but could be as much as 30,000. 70,000 is way too high. Tom - 04/06/2010 12:48:03 AM 543 Views
See, just because we are european doesn't mean we're incapable of understanding... jh - 03/06/2010 09:53:25 AM 599 Views
