Wow, never thought of it until I read this article.
New BP oil spill flow estimates: 20,000 to 40,000 barrels per day - that's up to 1,680,000 gallons per day!
- Four of the five regional response plans discuss the protection of walruses, mammals that have not lived in the Gulf for three million years? - this is ridiculous!
I tread also that although Response Group has operations in at least 7 cities nationwide, the Houston-based firm's Web site says the company has about 35 employees. (One current assignment: calling 50,000 people who have visited BP offices and getting their e-mail addresses and emergency contact information)...
The Niger Delta is by no means a ‘poor’ economy. Staggering profits are pumped out of the creeks by Shell, Chevron and other companies on a daily basis. The IMF estimates that Nigeria earned US$75 billion in oil revenue between 2004-7. Yet the Delta region is impoverished by decades of record-breaking graft at all levels of the Nigerian political elite, an ongoing theft that is assisted by multinational oil companies and Western banks.
I can't believe this has not been revised since 1973. Sounds like they could potentially be held responsible for alot of health problems. I know there are alot of perfumes that cause allergic reactions to my husband and children just from the smell. I just wonder what effects it specifically has to hormones and pregnancy. This is really scary. I won't be paying $50 for my favorite perfume anymore. Not worth the risk.
When listening to the news reports from all the main news organizations, they seem to confuse people in the quantity of oil being spilled. They back and forth in discussing it in gallons and then in barrels. There doesn't seem to be any consistency in the unit of measure.
