re: #190 Bagua

That is correct, it was estimated that cutting the Riser would increase the flow by about 20%, but this was a rough estimate, as was BP’s original estimate of 5,000 bbl/day which they made clear was only a guess.

5k, 12k, 30k - the exact amount leaking per day doesn’t matter. That is a shitload of oil they need to clean up.

I heard today that Obama wants BP to pay the salaries of all those employees that HE has told can no longer work pulling oil out of the ground. True?
