Offshore oil spill fuels Cape Cod debate over Georges Bank

The Argo Merchant spill near Nantucket draws Cape Cod residents into a clash over offshore drilling. Cape Cod's distance from Georges Bank, potential oil reserves estimated by the USGS, and the proposed two offshore tracts raise questions about energy needs, pipelines, processing plants, and environmental impact. Proponents tout jobs and energy security while concerns focus on water supply, processing logistics, and port capacity at New Bedford and Davisville.
