Oil Spill - 70,000 Barrels Per Day Could Kill Gulf, East Coast Maybe Iceland
Editorial By Bruce Kettelle
New estimates of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill are particularly frightening. Original estimates of 5,000 barrels a day seeping from the broken wellhead of a BP oil well were alarming enough. Now some scientists believe it to be 14 times that, up to 70,000 barrels a day.
To add more sting to the scar being left in the fertile waters of the gulf another team has identified plumes of oil below the surface getting caught up in the gulf’s currents putting them on a beeline course for the Florida Keys and beyond. The Gulf Stream exits the Gulf of Mexico and runs up the east coast of the US.
Now I am no ocean scientist but it is quickly apparent that this much oil will have to go somewhere and from the look of the North Atlantic Ocean current maps England, Ireland, Iceland and all the fishing grounds in between are possibly in the path.
BP needs all the help they can get to stop the leak as soon as possible. The world needs all the help it can muster to start cleaning up this spill. Creative thinking is needed now, not after all this stuff hits the beaches from Miami to Maine.
Where are the inventors? Can we trap the oil as it squeezes between the Florida Keys? Are all the world’s oil skimming resources heading to the area? Can BP really afford to reimburse for contaminated fisheries on both sides of the Atlantic?
Let’s put on our thinking caps and try to stay as far ahead of this disaster as possible.
