Interesting you say that. One of my prof's in Grad school often used to say that the only answer to pollution is "don't do it". Avoidance, control or cleanup, in that order in terms of cost. In case of off shore drilling, a fourth option; keep it out of sight and depend on dilution and evaporation?
