And not only was it not reported in the news, the chances of actually cleaning it up effectively up in that extra-cold water are vanishingly slim. That is why people like myself were so extremely against any drilling up there, due to the inability to clean up their inevitable messes.
Then again, Exxon never has paid for its mess up there - remember the Valdez oil spill, anyone? I do! Big Oil doesn't care one bit about cleaning up their messes... they just want to shovel up as much profit as possible while they are still relevant.
