There isn't enough oil to spill at that rate.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 962698

yes, there is more then enough.

That reserve has enough methane to power natural gas in the USA for 389 years according to current demand. And there is less methane then oil, go figure.

20 million gallons an hour sounds very high. That's 240 million gallons a day spewing into the Gulf.
 Quoting: dereistic



20 million gallons per hour X 24 hours is 480 Million Not 240 million

There is a post with a fact sheet from 2005. It was a professional accounting used by the oil companies to search and plan for new oil drills.

Find it, I'm too busy to search it out just yet. I will find it soon though.

Are you stupid or something?

Well..

In a report from BP in 2009 I read "1 billion barrels of useable oil" Later in that report I read "Likely over 4 billion barrels of oil"

Take the higher estimate of 4 billion barrels.. x 42 for gallons (US) 168 billion gallons of oil.

Even at 480 million gal a day that would take 340+ days to empty.

Although I can't realistically see it at 480 million gallons a day. 2 million gallons an hour could be more appropriate, but still doesn't sound right, so I'll settle at 5% for 24 million gallons a day but even that is over 570000 barrels a day.

That seems illogical. If that many gallons were draining out of the gulf daily the spill size would be bigger, and it would lose pressure much faster.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 879868

Any bends under the seafloor are soo gradual it would be a minor change in flow. The drills can't make sharp angle turns. And the leak has been known to be coming from the seafloor now.

And if not, it will be soon with that much pressure behind it. It will be oil and sand blasted wide open real soon if not already.

and 480 million/day is the low estimate. It is over 2 billion gal/day on higher estimates.

Just wait till the damn thing explodes and turns the gulf into a lake of fire...

Revelation 19:20-21 Amplified Bible (AMP)
20 And the beast was seized and overpowered, and with him the false prophet who in his presence had worked wonders and performed miracles by which he led astray those who had accepted or permitted to be placed upon them the stamp (mark) of the beast and those who paid homage and gave divine honors to his statue. Both of them were hurled alive into the fiery lake that burns and blazes with brimstone.

21And the rest were killed with the sword that issues from the mouth of Him Who is mounted on the horse, and all the birds fed ravenously and glutted themselves with their flesh.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 690458

Would you expect to be told the truth through the MSM and/or government?

Suppose that is what will happen soon. There is a few miles between the seafloor and the oil reserve. And the reserve isn't open like a balloon, it is partitioned or chaotic honeycomb structure type. Pressure release will turn into the seafloor sinking but who knows when.

We need to take into consideration the planet is under pressure right now. Expanding I think. Look at EQs and the plates, the direction of separation. Then look at volcanoes, Eyjafjallajökull, and EQs at super volcanoes around the globe.

I think they knew this was a fat well and that it was dangerous to drill. Think they believe 2012 will destroy most rigs and wells so they said, "what the hell, lets grab what we can now. If we are lucky, we will score. If not, it will blend in with all the other disasters. Besides, its on America's shores and we are trying to destroy her anyway"...

Just like bailing out and printing counterfeit, I look at this as an act of war.

UI would sanction UK over this, and OWN BP fuel and solar.
