A little more than the 80 mbo/d WAG.
Anything to blow it out of proportion, sensationalize, headline, soundbite, grandstand or otherwise.
Some more of those headlines were debunked during today’s briefing. The tar balls that floated up in Florida weren’t from the spill and, it appears, neither are the ones from Texas. The “giant subsea oil plume” appears to have almost no hydrocarbons in it. We are now in our 29th day of “imminent disaster”, I wonder how long it’ll take the public to figure out they’re being “had”.
