A post-Katrina release of oil has been compared to the much smaller 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. |
On a large scale this technology was used to clean up part of the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska. |
Valdez could be a Boeing machinist, Microsoft code writer, garment maker or call-center receptionist. |
Oil companies had combined to form the Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. inorder to transfer the North Slope oil to tankers docked at Valdez. |
It was the Exxon Valdez which ran aground on the Alaskan coast in 1989 spilling 40 million litres of crude oil. |
