Have a look at this post. It gives a rough cost-benefit comparison of the $8 billion invested in the Deepwater Horizon (the drilling rig responsible for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill) versus an equal investment in offshore wind power generation. All I could think while reading was that I wanted to see The Onion do a spoof news report about an offshore wind spill. I'm picturing fake newscasters standing on a sunny beach sensationalizing about the horrors of clean and pleasant offshore breezes, etc. And sure enough, the poster ironically refers to a "windspill" a bit farther down. C'mon, Onion guys, you up for it?
