Over 43 millions gallons of BP oil still in the Gulf

   August 4, 2010


Before we praise BP and declare the disaster over, we still have crude in the Gulf. Even if NOAA report is correct and 75 percent has evaporated, been recovered or dispersed (whatever that means), we still have over 43 million gallons out there somewhere.

According to federal estimates, 4.1 million barrels translates to 172,200,000 gallons, of which 25 percent equals 43,050,000…. four times more than Valdez spill.

This isn’t over.
