Or drive them further inland. In any case, storms will make it harder to contain and remove the oil.

I am afraid this is going to get worse before it gets better.

On a related note.

I would like to hear from the anti-nuke people how nuclear power is not safe for the environment. Seems to me that we have had more environmental disasters with non-nuclear industries than we have had with nuclear industries. The US nuclear reactor safety record is pretty good.

We really need to build more nuclear reactors that are smaller, more efficient, and safer than the current old reactors we have today.
