And don't forget the spill from the barge after its accident with the chemical tanker.  That would have looked great, McCain claiming how environmentally safe oil drilling is while a spill was taking place just up the Mississippi River.  Every aspect of oil is evil as soon as it's removed from where it belongs, which is under the ground: drilling, transporting, refining, more transporting, and burning.

If anyone's interested, I stuck a discussion on the semantics of "significant spillage" on the end of this thread here.

Short version, McCain's lamentably safe spouting the bull%#&!! he's spouting, because of an arbitrary MMS standard that's practically designed to support statements like that.
