It is minor. Too bad environmentalists cannot comprehend the immense effort that goes into keeping Alaska “clean and pristine”. When oil is produced in Alaska, the environment is protected. When oil production is pushed to 3rd world nations, spills are not even considered until the volume is large enough to be an economic consideration.

This spill, although minor, will be tracked and the clean up made public. It will be very well documented and open for all to review and criticize.

That would be too easy and totally against their radical agenda.

I worked the Komi oil spill (back in 95) - the oil was 3 to 9 meters deep in places. Now, THAT was a spill.

http://www1.american.edu/ted/KOMI.HTM has some of the details - but even this is inaccurate. Up to the time of Gulf War I and Saddam blew the oil perminal, this was the biggest land spill to date.

SPOT has some good images as well.
