The Valdez Oil Disaster should be remembered by all. For most of us it was a remove event.
In the early 1990's, I worked on several Superfund sites in Alaska. The environmental professionals who lived in Alaska at that time were primarily trained on the
Exxon Valdez spill. But they looked at the spill a little differently. They called it the "Alaska Full-Employment Act" because it created more well-paid jobs for Alaskans than any act ever passed by the Alaska Legislature. And it was the biggest influx of money to Alaska since the completion of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline in the mid-1970's. So, there are two sides to every story.
