This rig is about 80 miles west of the Deep Water Transocean site. Here is the

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.

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