Theyre running out of Oil along shorelines and on land. Thats not a scientific affirmation, thats what i could muster from reading recent articles about the spill here and there.
I understand its the same reason why theres an industry in Alberta about extracting oil from bitumous sands (spelling).

"Running out" is a relative term, but yeah it isn't getting any easier to drill shallow. There are still relatively large amounts of oil inland, but environmental concerns typically outweigh rights to those wells. One contributing factor to why they were out there is the 'Deep Water Royalty Relief Act'.
Ya know when you think about it, which is an easier accident to address, one on land or one at 5k feet deep?
