Or that's BP's excuse for "not knowing the flow rate."

Accelerating 100 kg/sec to just 1 meter a second with some active
sensor like a Coriolis wheel would take over 38 watts.

Hey, 38 watts isn't just a signal. That's sustainability for a lot of
people.

At 2300 psig, ocean bottom combustion with LOX pumped down has a
certain charm. Thermal exchange during descent will vaporize the
liquid. Assure Enviro-whiners that the LOX is all natural, captured
from free-ranging air, and not some Franken-oxidizer made from
recombinant cage-raised chemicals.

BP, "Knock knock."
NASA, "Who's there?"
BP, "Givus atanka."
NASA, "Givus atanka who?"
BP, "Givus atanka LOX or we'll cover Cocoa Beach a foot thick in
Permian asphalt emulsion."
