Scientist's Saying BP's (NYSE:BP) Losing 850,000 Gallons Daily

As the debate continues, independent scientists are estimating that BP (NYSE:BP) is losing at a minimum, 850,000 gallons a day. There are many scientist that are in agreement that BP and Obama's administration continue to downplay the actual amount of oil that is spewing at a massive rate.

"This is an all hands on deck crisis, and we need to use every asset the U.S. has, including the defense department and all of its most sophisticated technology," said Rep. Ed Markey.

There has been many members of Congress, local officials, as well as environmental organizations in the effected states, that are pushing for the federal government to take over the oil response efforts.

Sen. Lamar Alexander, on CBS's Face the Nation, seemed to advocate the government simply taking over BP as a whole.
