Another Oil Well Blows Up
September 2nd, 2010
Another Oil Weill explodes in the Gulf of Mexico. Time for a moratorium on Oil Drilling in the Ocean until it can be safely done. California has the right idea with an outright ban. Perhaps it is time to get serous about alternative energy and catch up with the rest of the world with solar and wind energy.

NEW ORLEANS La.– The Coast Guard has been called to an oil platform explosion about 80 miles south of Vermilion Bay off the coast of Louisiana.
The Coast guard says there were 13 people on the platform and all of them have been accounted for. One person has been hurt.
Air ambulances from Houston and New Orleans are on the way out to the rig.
No word right now if there are any leaks in the oil and gas production platform. It is owned by Mariner Energy.
