Another Gulf Oil Rig Explodes

A few readers have noted that another gulf oil rig has exploded. This one is off the coast of Lousiana. So far all the workers are accounted for, but they are in immersion suits waiting for rescue.

    Not to discredit the idea that domestic and off-shore drilling and oil recovery should be as safe as possible... but

    It still kills fewer americans than getting oil from other places... like the middle east.
