Since the Deepwater Horizon exploded burnt and the sank to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico many questions have emerged. BP has not been truthful in any accurate reporting of facts. The latest conservative estimate of goo vomiting from the well is 50,000 to 120,000 barrels a day.
The fines imposed by our government allows for $4,300 dollars per barrel. If we use the low estimate of 50,000 bpd x 61 days x $4300 = 131,150,000,000 and they still have to return the Gulf of Mexico from a private BP cesspool back to a national fishery.
(61 days was used because it's product is even numbers) Regardless BP does not have this kind of money.
No credits are allowed for barrels cleaned or captured as the fine is for spilled oil only.
To estimate the amount of time required for the cleanup I suggest dumping 1 barrel of crude or 42 us gallons on your living room floor. Allow oil to sit, ferment, and decay for 4 months.
After 4 months of seeping into your carpets through the sub flooring and down to your basement and finally back into the water table where it originated, begin cleaning. Simultaneously the odor has permeated the drywall insulation and sub floor and wall framing. The caustic toxic goo will corrode wiring and plumbing that will need to be replaced as well.
When you have restoration complete simply take the total amount of days or 50,000 bpd x 120 days x the number days it took for cleaning your single barrel. The answer is; not in my lifetime. Your house cannot be restored and neither can the Gulf of Mexico. If you question these facts go to Prince William Sound, Alaska and you will find it has not been cleaned either.
Don't blame the President he didn't cause or exacerbate the disaster. Whether he responded quickly enough will not affect the end result. The President should be judged on what steps will be taken to remove America from it's addiction to oil.
To the English Subjects concerned about how our President Obama is handling the BP disaster they should realize he is not driving this catastrophe. The American people are behind this one.
Be patient England before the year is over, BP oil will be infecting the English Channel. Your fisherman will have no fish and you will smell the ignorance of your countryman's greed.
