Oil Spills 101: A Chronology of Famous - or Infamous - Oil Spills




Well, time has a way of making us forget all but the biggest events. So, to provide some context for the current Gulf of Mexico oil spill, here's a handy site that has been put together by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Office of Response and Restoration. The Deepwater Horizon incident may well end-up being the worst of the lot (lets pray not and get those dispersant agents dropped in the water and the well capped ASAP). However, when you review this list - many in the U.S. - its does make you want to rethink moving to solar, wind, nuclear, etc.
