Only about 35% of the crude is turned into motor fuels. US production does not meet demand, and much of their crude is imported. In case people didn't know natural gas and gasoline are not even close to being the same thing. Just to help clarify an above post.
This accident could lead to widespread damage in the ecosystem. It's going to cost BP billions to clean this one up. They need to make big profits because there is big risk involved in their business. The chance of a blowout is one of those risks.
Why is it I've heard far more reports about the ecosystem, and costs of this accident, than the 11 souls that were lost in the accident. RIP.
Everyone of us is partly responsible for this accident. We ALL use fossil fuels.
