I read somewhere -- it was some environmentalist's scornful commentary -- that the total resource BP had been going for down there a mile deep didn't even equal a day's global consumption.

If that's true, given the volume of the world's oceans, even in the worst case scenario this might not be apocalyptic , but merely tragic ... anybody know how many barrels were supposed to be down there in the first place?
