But if you find this site "doomer" then, sorry, but the blog you linked to is on the Pollyanna side of the spectrum. I'm afraid that his comment at the end ruined his credibility: <i>"In essence, one could fit the environmental consequences of every spill in the history of the hydrocarbon era into one small forest fire, out of the 10,000 we have every year.</i> Nice try but his spiffy graphs do not even begin to support such a wild assertion.kwarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-85442637037811323472010-05-01T19:36:21.167-05:002010-05-01T19:36:21.167-05:00Hey pal, there's no need to call people pathet...Hey pal, there's no need to call people pathetic. And I haven't yet come across any news organization confirming the 25k figure. <br /><br />The link I provided didn't trivialize the spill; rather, it offered some perspective. But perspective apparently doesn't fit into your apocalyptic world view.<br /><br />If anything in the link was factually incorrect, please let me know.

And 3 months leakage at a the 25,000 bpd rate will make this 2,250,000 barrels - not the 150,000 cited by your source.<br />This would make it the 2nd largest GOM spill - not 37th on the list.<br /><br />And according to that site's 2nd chart, this will easily be the third largest spill in history.<br /><br />ckmCharles Kingsley Michaelson, IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364694465614330540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-75411196431840621822010-05-01T14:45:21.589-05:002010-05-01T14:45:21.589-05:00You folks need some perspective.

...Soapbox: ... What is the ecosystem really worth?<br /><br />Good idea. Let's say we do this also for Nuclear Plants, say that one above NYC. How much would such a bond be, how much would it cost? How do you pay people who are DEAD?? Same for all the rest of the BIGs who now run the World and with their Technologies can destroy it. BIG OIL is simple but the more dangerous Technologies are not.<br /><br />The answer is that Technology will destroy the Biosphere. Technology expands and becomes more dangerous day by day.
