Plejaren: Over 304 Million Gallons Spilled in Gulf!

UPDATE August 3, 2010: A careful reader, David Guerra, has caught my mathematical error, so I will post his email with his calculations. However, a discrepancy of over 1,000,000 gallons of oil per day is actually pretty huge:

"...You can’t compare BP’s number with the Plejaren’s number that way because they are in different units (barrels vs. gallons). I’ve made a few calculations myself:

BP's info: 4.9 million barrels (42 gallons/barrel) = 205,800,000 gallons = 779,037,745 liters = 2,338,636 gallons/day (during an 88 days period).

Plejaren info: 1,162,000,000 liters = 306,967,924 gallons = 3,488,271 gallons/day

So as it is, Ptaah’s number is only one and a half times higher than BP’s. Not such a huge discrepancy.

David Guerra"

UPDATE August 2, 2010: Please notice the more than slight discrepancy between the U.S. government figures and those of the Plejaren:

BP oil well gushed 4.9 million barrels: US

Now, with the total amount of the spill being calculated at just 1 1/2 times the amount of what the Plejaren reported was spilled on an average day...just who do you think is telling the truth?

Right.

Orignal post: In the most recent series of questions and answers, on the FIGU forum, the following information on the Gulf oil spill was published:

"As of 17th July, 2010, 1,162,000,000 litres of oil have spilled and polluted the Gulf of Mexico, according to investigations done by the Plejaren.

Besides, Ptaah said on the 19th June, 2010 that they have looked into the future and saw that something will be undertaken by mid-July to stop the spilling, 'which looks promising'."

Note from Randy Arena: "Since there were 95 days since April 20, 2010 that means 12,231,578 liters per day or divided by four (3.78541178)... approximately 3.2 million gallons per day! BP is only claiming half that."

NOTE: Sheila Clark corrected the math here, pointing out that there are in fact only 88 days between the dates. It appears then that the average volume of the spill has been closer to 3.5 million gallons per day!
