Almost anything CAN be prevented, but the problem is no one thinks of it first. It's not like BP is mindlessly running tankers out in the ocean completely careless of accidents. That's several billions of dollars in oil that they're losing out there not to mention the cost of the ship.
This ship was the Exxon Valdez, now renamed the Dong Fang Ocean.
The highest stock value Exxon have ever attained is $500 billion. Apple and Exxon are two of the very few companies that have ever reached this amount.
No. It is not feasible to completely clean up an oil spill. The oil can be cleaned from beaches, but other areas including wetlands may be impossible to clean. Nature through wind, wave and biological action will over time degrade and disperse (spread out) the oil, so its impact will be much less.
no its copper
No, the biggest one was in the Persian Gulf located between Western Asia and Iran.
Think about it...is it ever good?
The pipeline stops in Valdez Alaska. The oil then is put and an oil tanker and sent to Washington. Ever heard of the Exon Valdez? Pipeline oil.
Yes of course it spilled so many gallons of oil that it dwarfs all other oil spills.
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill (also referred to as the BP oil spill, the BP oil announced that BP would be temporarily banned from new contracts with the US.
