But you'd agree that half-million to a million gallons is a pretty reasonable estimate? Libby Send a noteboard - 03/06/2010 10:34:58 PM
Which is roughly about 15,000 to 30,000 barrels a day, correct? BP themselves seem to be unofficially leaning toward this number. Not exactly filling me with a lot of confidence for the current conservative number.

Yes, yes I am. Mostly in Central Asia.


Interesting, so do you work for Gazprom often?

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 612 Views
The estimates are always going to be rounded figures. LiterateDog - 03/06/2010 02:23:35 AM 373 Views
True enough about activists, but the alternative energy folks have pretty good evidence now. Ghavrel - 03/06/2010 02:30:55 AM 438 Views
Alternative energy is a pipe dream for now, though. LiterateDog - 03/06/2010 02:40:41 AM 467 Views
So you support greater regulation and oversight of offshore oil? Libby - 03/06/2010 09:30:25 AM 409 Views
No. I support the basic safety regulations that are already in place. LiterateDog - 03/06/2010 09:55:42 AM 394 Views
The current basic regulations are not enough, that's the point Libby - 03/06/2010 10:15:19 AM 434 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 166 Views
Well BP better be spending money cleaning up the gulf. Roland00 - 03/06/2010 03:03:10 AM 391 Views
That's a lot of oil. *NM* LordPerrin - 03/06/2010 03:58:18 AM 171 Views
The fact is, no one knows how much oil has been leaking. Libby - 03/06/2010 09:48:25 AM 378 Views
Straw man alert! LiterateDog - 03/06/2010 09:57:59 AM 424 Views
Of course, unfettered private sector ‎can do no wrong. right? Libby - 03/06/2010 10:27:19 AM 421 Views
fixed for you scalius - 03/06/2010 04:32:37 PM 404 Views
Actually...let me fix that again Libby - 03/06/2010 07:07:36 PM 407 Views
I prefer the more conservative number to media hyperbole. Tom - 03/06/2010 05:52:07 PM 442 Views
Well, considering the original conservative number has been proven drastically wrong. Libby - 03/06/2010 07:28:27 PM 377 Views
70,000 barrels a day is obviously hyperbole. Tom - 03/06/2010 08:45:03 PM 378 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 444 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 322 Views
See, just because we are european doesn't mean we're incapable of understanding... jh - 03/06/2010 09:53:25 AM 357 Views
