25,000 Barrels (x4!!!!)


This is video visualizes what 25,000 barrels of oil look like. If that looks like a lot of barrels to you, there might be 4 times as much oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico PER DAY!!! Meanwhile it doesn’t look like BP is finding any solutions to stop the leak. Rumors about a hostile take over from Chinese oil companies grow stronger and Tony Hayward is counting his final days as the CEO of BP. They are now looking to raise 50 Billion USD, from asset sales, bonds and loans. While BP’s cost of capital is skyrocketing, the hurricane season is only about to start. Rising oil prices, rising seafood prices, unprecedented environmental losses on the Gulf of Mexico shorelines, vast areas of ocean turned into a toxic dessert, BP in financial distress, 1000s of people who lose their job.. All in all we have really no clue what the exact environmental impact of this disaster is going to be and we can only hope this thing will be over as soon as possible..
