The Gulf of Mexico oil spill is about four times worse and rising.
This is not the worst leakage of oil though in the gulf. Mexico had a 110 million gallon leak in 1979. We are quickly approaching that level of leak.
the Exxon Valdez spill happened before the BP oil spill. and the they are the same because they are both an oil spill
After the Exxon Valdez oil spill, Exxon should have paid for all the cleanup and also provided preventative measures!
The Exxon Valdez spill occurred in the state of Alaska. The incident occurred on March 24, 1989.

The Final Report - 2006 Exxon Valdez Spill was released on: USA: 24 March 2008
no.
The Exxon Valdez oil spill did not occur near the polar bear's habitat so none were affected.
Many differences: 1) Exxon Valdez was a tanker accident, therefore the quantity of oil was known. The spill size in the Gulf of Mexico is unknown as oil is still spilling from the wellbore. 2) Wave action was probably more effective in breaking up the oil spill. 3) Oil booms were not available to contain the Exxon-Valdez spill. 4) Other measures to disperse the spill were not available. Surfactants and bio-remediation were used late in the clean up operation. 5) The Exxon Valdez appears to be a more viscous oil than the Gulf spill. No attempt to burn the oil was considered. The Exxon oil was more prone to form emulsions. 6) Due to water temperatures, the Exxon oil was unlikely to evaporate th high end alkanes. In the Gulf spill (and also the Kuwait spill) high temperatures will allow the high end alkanes to evaporate.
