Oil spills could be reduced in a number of ways. We can build better tankers, we can give people who pilot tankers better training, and possibly do less shipping of oil, if we can cut back on our oil consumption, which would have several advantages in addition to reducing the risk of oil spills.

∙ 13y agoThis is a controversial question. Some people would like to stop drilling oil wells like the one BP is drilling, in deep water, at deep depths. Unfortunately, this is where many new sources of oil are found.
Others would like to allow some drilling, but only if it can be shown to be safe. There are a number of investigations going on to find the cause of the accident.
Still others don't feel there is anything wrong in drilling in deep water. They feel that BP did not use the right safety precautions. So, people with this viewpoint support more oversight and regulations.
Residents of a local community need to be informed on what is occurring. The decisions of whether to permit drilling will depend on the Federal government, which people elect. So an informed public is probably the best way to avoid another spill.
