40,000 gallons of oil/day would fit into a cube 17.5 feet on a side,
not exactly a major spill. Consider that 75% of such oil is typically

on a side, a tiny amount.
They also say 1 gallon of oil will pollute a million gallons of water
The real question is what this does to the estuary of South Louisiana
and by default the whole Gulf coast.
Will you lose your oyster harvest up in your neck of the woods?
Will tar balls be washing up on the beach in Naples?
This is bad, there is no way to polish that turd.
Oh, Froggy will find a way if there's a multinational corporate entity
that might have to pony up.
He'll be rubbin' and rubbin' and rubbin' and he'd eat those tar balls
with tartar sauce if it'd help make his point. Mmmmm, good!
