Your statement is 100% incorrect. Completely wrong wrong wrong.
"If they do have a disaster of an oil spill, then the oil will be blown on to the coast where there is easy access for clean up."
Oil spills are broken down in sunlight on the ocean surface much more readily by natural processes than oil spills that makes it to shore. It only takes a days to weeks for oil spills in the ocean to disappear through sunlight, evaporation and other biological, physical and chemical processes.
Yep I agree with this statement you made though.
"Being educated doesn't necessarily make you smart."
