What day is this? Another day when BP's gushing, busted oil well is polluting the waters, shorelines and beaches of America.
In the news this morning the shocking report that BP has not been candid with regulators! Shocking! Shocking! Shocking! Shocking to whom? Federal regulators, the gullible.
The Washington Post reports, "In a March report that was not questioned by federal officials, BP said it had the capacity to skim and remove 491,721 barrels of oil each day in the event of a major spill. As of Monday, with about 2 million barrels released into the gulf, the skimming operations that were touted as key to preventing environmental disaster have averaged less than 900 barrels a day. Skimming has captured only 67,143 barrels, and BP has relied on burning to remove 238,095 barrels.(Which has added to air pollution) Most of the oil recovered -- about 632,410 barrels -- was captured directly at the site of the leaking well.." Most of the oil, millions of barrels have gushed unchecked into the Gulf.
What's the bottom line here? From day 1, BP has been deceptive.
The Post reports, "BP officials declined to comment on the validity of early skimming projections, stressing instead the company's commitment to building relief wells intended to shut down the still-gushing well. "The numbers are what they are," said BP spokesman Toby Odone. "At some point, we will look back and say why the numbers ended up this way. That's for the future. Right now, we are doing all we can to capture and collect the oil through various methods. We will make sure all the oil is ultimately dealt with."
Do you believe them now?
Also, tar balls from the Gulf oil spill have found their way to Texas. Now the gushing crude from the BP's busted well has now reached all the Gulf coastal states. See the video.
