The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

  1. dont care dont want to care and never will care hope it all goes up in flames!!! hahahahaha

  2. well first they have to get the oil to stop spiling,which who knows how long that is going to take…

  3. It will takes months to stop the spill and years to recover.
    This spill is like the Exon Valdez having an accident every six days or sooner.
    It worries many of us. Good questions.

    Here is the BP site to help you see some of the photos, (a video released just six hours ago), and to hear from BP on what their estimates on clean up, costs, and any lingering damages.

    The link also gives you past press releases. Hope this helps.

  4. nobody knows, it could take weeks, months or years. Plus, who knows if the spillage will ever be cleaned, and the damage is without a doubt fatal; with marine life, dying by the minute and the ocean getting polluted just like that. It should worry you, it should worry all of us. Haven’t you heard? It’s one of the biggest major disasters in history! D:

  5. well sadly it should first it should cap the spill so that would take about 3 months to 5 years then they have to clean it witch would take up to 30 years!

  6. they still have oil off the coast of alaska from the exxon spill in the 80’s. and that was a single tanker. this is far far worse in terms of oil volume. my educated guess is about 2 to 3 hundred years.
    seriously, getting that much oil out of the ocean is even harder than getting pee out of a swimming pool.

  7. It’s gonna take years, that’s for darn sure, and nobody would deny that, but it won’t “ruin out oceans”. So far, this has been contained to the Gulf, and the “Oceans” dwarf the Gulf.
    Has this kind of thing happened before?
    YES! 425 million barrels were leaked in the GOM in the mid 1970’s (I think) from a Mexican Oil Rig (search, and verify).

  8. It’ll never really be cleaned up, nature will just find a new equilibrium. Remember how many millions of years it took nature to stash all that stuff away in the first place.

    Although not as messy, remember that the amount of oil spilt in the BP accident to date amounts to how much oil that we’ve consumed every 5 seconds and all of that is stuff that nature took millions of years to stash away and is also stuff that nature must find a new equilibrium for now that we’ve brought it out.

    Cosmetically, a lot of people will say that the Gulf had recovered after two years just like they did two years after Ixtoc1 but in reality, nature will still be dealing with it for a very very long time to come.

  9. not years, decades.
    keep in mind, the exxon valdez spill is still not all cleaned up.
    and this one is far worse.

  10. If I knew the answer as to when the Transocean/Haliburton oil spill will be cleaned up, I would become a psychic.

  11. I live in Southern Louisiana and the last estimate for the new pipeline will be finished sometime in August but I am not holding my breath on that one. Sad thing is people here in the Gulf are facing the loss of a lifestyle that has gone on for centuries. The cleanup will take decades and the marsh land will probably never fully recover as oil remnants will remain even if they divert a good amount of water from the MS River to flush it out. It will be interesting to see how much toxins the marine life will absorb as they recover from this disaster. The stretch from Baton Rouge to New Orleans is called ‘cancer alley’ because of the refineries. I guess another cancer alley has just been added to the equation.

How much longer should it take for the BP oil spill to be cleaned?

This whole situation worries me, I’m curious as to what extent could this event ruin our oceans, how much longer it will take to fix it and if anything of this stature has happened before.
