Veldez: Exxon paid 3.4 billion in claims and cleanup costs. Punitive damages were reduced from 5 bil to 500,000 mil.

Right now...it looks like maybe the gulf accident will leave a lesser scar than the Valdez...

Warm water is the Gulf's friend.

The BP Horizon was natural oil right out of the ground.

The Exxon Valdez was refined oil.
