Some oil spillage is geological natural. However since man began mining and using oil, mankind has become responsible for a huge amount of oil spillage. We concentrate on what large companies are doing when mining for and transporting oil and require these companies to comply to standards an laws that are designed to prevent pollution. This has prevented most spillages but certainly human error is still responsible for some and yes, these could have been prevented.
On a more mundane level we are very lac about individuals when they use oil in their homes and on farms and the pollution laws are much more difficult to enforce. Certainly there is a lot more that could be done here to prevent spillages.
