More Dispersant Used Than Oil Spilled In Any Previous Accident

Government’s Expert Witness: Over 42 million gallons of dispersant used during BP oil disaster

"Christopher Reddy, an associate scientist of marine chemistry and geochemistry at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, said the use of surface dispersants is extremely typical and well understood to be safe, but some concern remains about their use in the sea’s depths. …
Reddy said he is also concerned about the total amount of dispersants used, which is unprecedented. He noted that 1 million barrels [42 million gallons] of dispersants have been applied to the Gulf of Mexico to fight this spill, more than the amount of oil spilled in any single accident prior to the BP disaster.
Reilly also said the dispersants’ unknown effect on fisheries is troublesome. “You know a lot of fishermen have very strong reservations about dispersants, that it hides the oil under the surface and makes it hard for the fish to avoid it,” Reilly said. “That’s what we found in Prince William Sound” after the 1989 Exxon Valdez tanker spill in Alaska, during Reilly’s time as EPA chief.
Another report in the Times Picayune restates the massive 42 million gallon figure:
Reddy said the total amount of dispersants used is unprecedented and cause for more study. He noted that 1 million barrels of dispersants have been applied to the Gulf of Mexico to fight this spill, more than the amount of oil spilled in any single accident prior to the BP disaster.
Previous reports have put the amount of dispersants used at between 1-2 million gallons (25,000-50,000 barrels)."

We had been hearing that one million gallons number all along, most likely a deliberate lie that magically turned into barrels when they thought nobody would notice.

If this is true it will go down in the history books as an unprecedented, deliberate ecological crime of a magnitude that no words can satisfactorily describe. Just like from another age where they built extremely tall smokestacks that billowed toxic poisons that the winds would carry away, these reptiles hoped to hide the extent of the gushing oil with mammoth quantities of dispersant, counting on the currents and tides to dilute it far and wide. They counted on no one seeing the trillions of dead animals in ocean waters and could always argue that something else caused the complete disappearance of entire ecosystems. It's all about buying time.
