Even though the United States and many other countries depend on the oil carried by ships or drilled for on off shore drilling rigs‚ the damage done by this industry is significant. Cleaning up an oil spill takes a massive effort‚ is expensive and not always effective. Alternatives to off shore oil drilling and transporting oil by ship need to be explored because of the damage it does to the environment. What is Petroleum? Petroleum are like others may call
