I worked for three and a half years in the Safety, Health, Environment and Security department of an offshore oil drilling company. We had rigs all over the world.

I agree with everything you said in your article except the part about the fouled beaches caused by oil spills. That may happen, but it is by no means a foregone conclusion. I think you will find that oil spills are more closely associated with oil transportation than offshore drilling.
