What is OUR part in the BP Oilspill?
Not the most on topic post, but with all the hooplah that has been going on recently I haven’t had time to make a good quality post of lately and since the oil flow was stopped very recently it seemed appropriate to assess the damage that was caused and what it would take for our nation to cleanup the oil spill in the gulf. What I found is a bit shocking. Although this is of course only a theoretical number and does not take into many factors such as age, location, etc. It is only a small amount of oil that each of us would have to clean up in order to do our part in the gulf.
Somewhere between 94 million and 184 million gallons have spilled into the Gulf, according to government estimates. The population of the United States was 307,006,550. If you do the math, if we each gathered up 0.6 gallons of crude oil from the gulf. We would as a country effectively clean up the entire oil spill. This is of course only a theoretical number, but food for thought.
