Life after oil: the rebirth of Alaska's spill coast (Valdez)

[GTIR]

Interesting article about the Alaska's Valdez oil spill from Exxon Valdez tanker.
Maybe the BP spill won't have that big an impact;

"In beaches that were not cleaned it [oil] disappeared within seven years"

"70 percent of the oil evaporated or biodegraded..."

"Economist's even suggest the spill was a boon in the long run, as spending on the clean up jump started the Alaskan economy out of a dire recession"

Clicky if you don't remember or have forgotten.
