the explosion of the oil rig” Deepwater Horizon “will cost a total of nearly $ 62 billion, according to the British company BP. Income tax effects push the burden on BP case of 61.6 to 44 billion dollars as the company said in a preliminary final invoice.

With the explosion of the “Deepwater Horizon” in April 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico eleven people were killed. For months, the leak had not been able to be closed at the well – 3.19 million barrels of oil are spilled by calculating a US court into the sea. This corresponds to more than 500 million liters.

It was one of the biggest disasters in the history of oil production at sea. Only after four failed attempts and 87 days engineers could put on a steel bell on open source and stop the strong flow from the oil field. More than 2,000 kilometers of coastline were polluted

Last year, BP had agreed with the US authorities to pay a fine of about $ 20 billion -. One of the largest penalties for a company in the history

According wolframalpha.com the US consume nearly 18.5 million barrels of oil a day. Mag to calculate how long the lost in the Gulf previous amount would have been enough (Hint: not very long) each itself. The question may be allowed if “the little” water pollution in general is still worth mentioning.

As you can see times, is measured with what varying degrees in the United States. If a few diesel blow something more pollutants into the air, will cost 16 billion. If Shell pollutes a complete ocean and tens of kilometers [...]

There you have it, is measured with what varying degrees in the United States. If a few diesel blow something more pollutants into the air, will cost 16 billion. If Shell pollutes a complete ocean and contaminated tens kilometers beach for decades, will cost the 20 billion.
