Whether it’s 5,000 barrels a day (BP’s estimate) or 3-4 times that number (worst case scenario/ doom and gloomer figures) won’t play a part in any court mandated clean up/ fines cost

What will matter is actual provable damages to industries (fishing, tourism) and ecology

Are you sure about that?

The size of the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska, for example, was a significant factor that the jury considered when it assessed damages against Exxon.

I mean really sure?
