From CSMonitor As estimates of the spill increase, questions about the government's honesty in assessing the spill are emerging. At the same time, pressure is building for the US to release worst-case scenario estimates so residents of the Gulf Coast can adequately prepare....
"The following is not public," reads National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Emergency Response document dated April 28, according to the Press-Register. "Two additional release points were found today. If the riser pipe deteriorates further, the flow could become unchecked resulting in a release volume an order of magnitude higher than previously thought." 5,000 barrels? 50,000 barrels? It's hard to tell.
The gulf is fuxxored.
Tell you what, if this was Mexican oil, there would be a lot more agitation about getting it fixed.
Maybe we could have the Russians plug it.
