Reply #50: How much oil, then? Eh?

[BeFree]

Oil does float on water, under normal circumstances.

If spilled on top, like tankers do, then it floats.

In this case the oil is being gushered at 5,000 feet deep. Think of it as one of the smokers (underwater volcanoes) from which its ejaculations are greatly dispersed.

Not only that, they have been putting soap into the oil at 5,000 feet deep.
Soap on the surface, too, which makes the oil and water mix. Creating an emulsion, which can't be scooped up as easily as floating oil.

Why doesn't the government tell us just how much oil has escaped?
Why are you having to ask? Why don't you know?
