: Wise Law BlogGulf Oil Spill: How Bad Is It?
He asserts that independent scientific evidence now indicates the leak is currently gushing 120,000 barrels per day, and suggests an "oil lake" beneath the water could be covering as much as 40% of the entire Gulf of Mexico.
His view is that nothing short of a "small" nuclear detonation will stop the Gulf oil leak. The alternative, according to Mr. Simmons, is 120,000 barrels of oil per day leaking into the Gulf of Mexico "for the next 25 to 30 years."
I would ordinarily be hesitant to cite so extreme a view on this blog. Frankly, were it not for BP's consistent understatements on the severity of this leak from the outset, all proven woefully wrong, I would not be inclined to do so.
Unfortunately, the "outliers" have been factually correct with disturbing regularity since the initial days of this catastrophe.
Let us hope that on these points, Mr. Simmons is dead wrong.
