The Valdez, also know as the Exxon Valdez was an oil tanker that worked in and around Alaska. The ship is still currently in service but is known as the Oriental Nicety now. The ship ran aground on a reef and leaked 10-32 million gallons of oil into Prince William Sound.
It has spilled 42,000,000 before the 'top kill' experiment and even after it leaks out 12,000 a day.
When the Trans Alaska Pipeline was constructed it was illegal to ship any of the oil from Alaska to other countries. Then during the Clinton Administration when oil was $8 a barrel, that law was changed. For 2 years Alyeska Pipeline Terminal shipped to Japan and South Korea a total of 5 times. They decided that this was not cost effective and now they no longer ship there. This was years ago. Now all the oil goes to refineries in Washington State, California and Hawaii. It provides most of the fuel in the Northwestern States. None of it leaves the country.
By ship, to Alaska.
