Amazing how quickly time flies.. this is a post i made in June 2010 concerning the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that was 4 years ago guys.. what caught my eye today is the amount of oil that was gushing from that well each and every day.. 2.5 million gallons..
The Flow Rate Technical Group, which was created federal government to accurately gauge the oil being released into the Gulf after questions were raised about BP’s own estimates, has sharply increased its estimate of the flow rate from BP’s out-of-control well today Tuesday.
The Flow Rate Technical Group said that as much as 60,000 barrels a day could be flowing into the Gulf of Mexico. That is roughly 2.5 million gallons a day, and it means an amount equal to the Exxon Valdez spill could be gushing from the well about every four days. It is the fourth time the Flow Rate Technical Group has had to increase its estimate of how much oil is pouring into gulf.
Again… 2.5 million gallons per day could be gushing from the well. Every four days we get an Exxon Valdez sized catastrophe. Another way to count – 143,640,000 gallons of oil could have been spilled since the start of the disaster 57 days ago
This absolutely blows! It is the saddest and most despondent news of the day… and the sad fact is it could be higher. Much higher.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu was personally involved in asking BP to put in new pressure gauges. The team then used those pressure readings to help make the latest estimate. The pressure readings plus the high-resolution video reluctantly released by BP led the team to sharply increase the flow rate...

If someone tells you they don't believe we're living in the last days there's something wrong with their eyes.. after that happened we were all wondering "what's next" in 2011 it was Fukushima.. now "what's next"
