November 13th 2012 marks the 10th Anniversary of the Prestige oil spill disaster. In November 2002, the Prestige tanker, a monohull built in 1976, with a declared cargo of 77,000 tons of heavy fuel oil coming from Venspils (Latvia) and bound for Gibratar, sank off the Galician coast. The oil spill affected more than 2,000 km of coastline, marking a before and after in the perception society had over the impact of oil on ecosystems, beaches, dunes, cliffs flooded by fuel, hundreds of thousands of oiled birds and decimated fishing grounds. Those responsible for the oil spill continue extracting and transporting oil and continue retaining political and government responsibilities. Without an Energy Revolution it is only a matter of time before the possibility that another Prestige can happen again.
