Any bets whether this tyrant in the WH uses this as an example of why we should get away from oil?

Prayers for the people involved in this.

My prayers are for the vicitms and their families.

BUT EVEN NOW, I can hear the rush of speculators running to take advantage of a bad situation by things even worse for the American energy conmsumer.

And you can be sure the Obamameister in the Oval Office will be spinning this to HIS own advantage.

What "offshore drilling boom"?

Have I missed something? What American coastal areas are "booming" with new drilling?

Seems to me Obama's oil speech was heavy on "exploration", short on actual expanded drilling permissions.

I have one word to say about this: sabotage.

0 will ban further drilling from coastal oil rigs until a complete investigation as to BLAME can be completed. That will drive the price of gas up to the $7-8 range he so desperately wants.

I don’t know why because it was not even an active well yet. It should go down because they found a lot of gas down there.

The rig has now sunk and its uncontrolled pumping 300,000 gallons a day sweet crude into the Gulf and the rig was in waters over 4,000’ deep.

...cast a pall over an offshore drilling boom that stands to dramatically lift U.S. energy output.
If only we could hook up our generators to the spin from partisan media shills. Thanks metmom.

Once power is lost, why does the rig not begin to drift? Is it just because of calm seas that it held position? How long can the risers hold it in place?
