Same as I told you last month re. katrina: Message 24691912 Onshore and offshore were different. Most of the spills were onshore, despite there being thousands of platforms and hundreds of working rigs in the GOM. Even the onshore spills were mostly contained by dikes. Also see this: During hurricanes Katrina and Rita, 115 oil platforms were toppled, but only insignificant amounts of oil spilled, says Roland Guidry, Louisiana’s oil-spill coordinator. There was significant pollution – 8 million to 10 million gallons of oil spilled, mostly from tanks and pipelines on land and from tankers striking submerged drilling platforms – but less than 10 percent of that came from federal offshore operations. Today’s technology has greatly reduced the risk of oil spills. “Offshore drilling is the safest way to go,” Guidry said. “Those guys don’t spill oil.” houmatoday.com
