Posted at 5:51pm on Dec. 9, 2007 "Didya Ever Notice" Dept.: the South Korean Oil Spill
By Vladimir
Didya ever notice that every oil spill of consequence in the last 35 years has involved either a boat or a barge? Or in this case, both?
SKorean Oil Spill Washes Onto Coast: Witnesses
We need to move large volumes of oil around in boats because we are afraid to explore and develop domestic resources, where the production could be much more safely moved in pipelines. Pipelines are fixed in place and are less prone to human error than boats; if a pipeline leak does occur, it is controlled automatically, and the spilled volume is limited.
