A cap over the ruptured wellhead is now collecting more than 460,000 gallons of oil a day, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said Monday in Washington. But whether that's a majority of the leaking oil or not even half is anyone's guess.
They are estimating that the well is gushing between 500,000 gallons and 1 million gallons. While no one knows exactly how much it is spewing... hopefully the number is closer to 500,000 and we are close to getting it stopped. Once stopped maybe BP can focus 100% on getting the cleanup going.

does anyone seriously think that BP is going to satisfy everyone's expectations on getting it cleaned up, restoring the wildlife, and compensating everyone that has been financially impacted by this disaster?

Man, all I remember about that Exxon deal was huge lawsuits and stonewalling. I don't know what exactly the end result was. But keep in mind, there weren't a bunch of people living around where that happened. I mean the impact on the wildlife and the shorelines was really bad, but it wasn't some densely populated area. So probably a lot easier to clean up and much less criticism of the final outcome.

Well, I was just reading about it. But its very confusing. I think they spent about $2 billion to clean it up. And then there were some civil suits with punative damages. One for about $5 billion. But they kept appealing it. After several appeals they got that down to a few million $. Then they had to settle with a few fisherman companies (7 i think) and that settlement was a few $ million.
They kept it all tied up in court for years and years.

I bet this gulf oil drilling is shut down for a long time. About like that space shuttle crash. What was it 2 or 3 years before they had the emergency plans in place to try another one?

I don't think it will be longer then a year but this time with some serious regulations on procedures that actually work when something breaks.It will be interesting to see who supports ocean drilling after this.It was the GOP's pet issue with the drill baby drill crap but as I posted the other day people like Sarah Palin are pretending that the slogan only pertained to land based drilling like in Alaska.If the GOP is bailing on that part of the oil industry you can bet its going to be pretty lonely on that side of the issue.You know the democrats arent going to take up that side.
