PBS has updated their Leak Meter again. As they explain, since BP is now, in fact, recovering 5,000 barrels per day with their tube, and the live video showing not much in the way of an impact on the oil coming out of the broken pipe, the minimum on the Leak Meter has been raised to 25,000 barrels per day [1,050,000 gallons/day].
BP now says they don’t know how much oil is coming from the well, but we know that BP lies and the US government swears to it.
Once again, since they stopped mucking about with the BOP, what exactly has BP done that would stop the oil from gushing out of the ground? All of their actions have been geared towards getting refinery-ready crude into a tanker.
