Potential for big spill after oil rig sinks (insurance, cost, officials)

[AnUnidentifiedMale]

PORT FOURCHON, La. - The oil rig that exploded, caught fire and then sank 36 hours later could lead to a major oil spill, officials said Thursday, and as a result a remotely operated vehicle is surveying the seas and assets ranging from aircraft to containment booms are ready to be deployed.

And on Earth Day - of all days! If they're going to have an oil spill, can't they at least wait until tomorrow?

Read other reports that the rig was drilling and not producing any oil. Of course; the expense to bring in oil just went up and must be reflected i the cost of the insurance cost going up. Nothig for nothing.It alos might setback those wanting to dril in such deep water at the risk and expense.

The oil speculaters are doing more to raise the cost of oil tho.

Whew! That's good to hear. I feel better about the oil spill now. If it's 100% natural, the fish won't mind.
