Reply #5: On a similar vein, I tried to find data on spills from ocean drilling. [View All]

They don't report it. I was curious about how much oil was released during the destruction of platforms during the hurricanes last year. I found a reporting form on NOAA but found out that they don't release that information to the public. They mentioned some the largest international spills that were associated with platforms on one site but didn't have any information on overall releases from drilling platforms. I also found wide discrepancies in reports. An Australian government report had spills from platforms estimated at over 20% while a US report estimated it at under 2%. I'm curious about it since Shrub Inc and his brother Jebbie are planning on drilling off FL. A major spill out at sea that gets caught in the loop current would eventually decimate the already beleaguered reefs in the FL Keys. Has anyone got any reliable sources on spills from ocean drilling platforms?
