This rig is about 80 miles west of the Deep Water Transocean site. Here is the link. I hope this is not

It is in much shallower water, less than 400 feet. If there is a problem it would be much easier to contain.

Yes. Also, this is apparently primarily a natural gas producer, not oil.

Well that would be the best case scenario then thank goodness.

Just checking, how many more explosions until we start using much less flammable Solar and Wind? 4?
