Visualizing the BP Oil Disaster

[The Poet]

That is a very interesting, and very scary, link. Thanks for posting it.


However, and not to be a prick about it (though why should I stop being one now?), another way to "visualize" the spill is to equate it to U.S. consumption of oil. To date, the entire total of this spill, as massive and horrid as it is, is about one hour's worth of energy.

Anybody wanna buy an SUV?
