Does this use the new 80,000 bbl/day wild-assed guess by ‘scientists’, or does it have some basis in fact?
Its at least 10 billion times worse than we can possibly conceive.
Seems to me that the laws of physics would step in here at some point. You can only force a finite amount of oil (and gas) through a pipe of a certain diameter at a given pressure in a given amount of time.
A little more than the 80 mbo/d WAG.
Anything to blow it out of proportion, sensationalize, headline, soundbite, grandstand or otherwise.
