Over coffee this morning, I read this. The (latest) estimate is that the equivalent of the Exxon Valdez (i.e. over 40 million liters) is being leaked into the Gulf of Mexico every eight to ten days. The spill is projected to continue into August. This below, this is what is happening at this very second.
And Tony Hayward, CEO BP (Mr. the-spill-is-"relatively tiny"-given-the-"big ocean")? Just like you, this guy below "wants his life back" (photo by Steve Riedel).
What are you going to do, dear reader? What do you think BP should do? Should the US government require BP to withhold payment to its shareholders until this mess has been cleaned and paid for?
PS: Since I wrote this last week, the estimate of oil leaked per day has doubled.
