Tom, that really expensive sunk oil production platform at the bottom of the ocean will make an excellent HQ for much marine life. The oil slurking around mixing with the ocean will make a good source of food for much marine life. If the oil is burned it goes into the air as CO2 which is plant food, enhancing crop production and reducing irrigation requirements. Mqurice

Hi Thomas, I have to admit I have no f***ing clue whether oil rigs are a net benefit overall or not. I do feel great distress, pain and anguish at the projected ecological damage and pray that the projections are wrong. I could leave it at that. Maybe just point out that importing from Saudi Arabia and similar places has a cost, too, see, e.g., recent activities in Times Square. Similarly, burning coal, whales, trees, and mummies.
