Tim, the Exxon Valdez spill ten years later is still a problem for the effected bay, its wildlife and the village that is on the site. Because its way outside our mainstream news, you don't here much about it. Nonetheless, they all are still struggling. 1 - The Exxon Valdez spill wasn't directly because of the drilling at Prudhoe Bay. Yes tankers would not have been in the area if it wasn't for the oil that had to be transported from there, but if there was no oil drilling in Alaska the spills would just happen elsewhere. In fact tankers from Alaska don't have to travel as far as tankers from the Middle East so if anything it should reduce the chances of oil spills. 2 - Are you kidding. When it happened and for a long time after it happened it was all over the news. You still hear about it from time to time, more then you hear about most issues that are that old. Tim
