Some say the size of the current Gulf of Mexico oil spill, could rival even that of the huge Exxon Valdez oil spill. What are the biggest 5 or so oil spills in history
The relative size of the spills in the graphic are very misleading as their height is proportional to the size of the spill rather than the area. So the Gulf war spill which is about 3 times the size the Ixtoc spill is depicted as 9 times the size.

Not factoring in the cost of the ecological impact makes your argument foolish. How much does your gas cost if you count damage to the environment from oil spills? What would you say to a Louisiana fisherman about the cost of his way of life?
Alternate energy is more expensive on the surface (no pun intended), but a wind farm or solar plant does not destroy the local environment when it fails.
