something like a million gallons a day has been spilling into the gulf since april 20. i find myself more concerned with that at the moment.
one tonne of crude oil is roughly equal to 308 US gallons or 7.33 barrels and 1 oil barrel is equal to 42 US gallons approx.
interesting how the decay of an ancient past can be responsible for the decay of a distant future, though that seems to be the case in most areas of life.
