Is BP being honest with us about what they know and how bad things are out there in the Gulf of Mexico? That’s a good question. Soon after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and sunk, it was estimated that about 1,000 barrels of oil were leaking daily. Then that estimate was raised to 5,000 barrels. Then SkyTruth.org, using satellite and radar date, made an estimate of 25,000 barrels/day, and now the latest reports are that there could be more than 70,0000 barrels leaking each day. But if BP had cameras down there almost from the start, why didn’t they know this? Or did they? -Treehugger
