I go down to texas every once in a while to visit family and there are several oil rigs just off the coast. When you walk down the beach you always have to be carefull of tarballs that wash in to shore from the rigs... if you step on one you cant get it off unless you have turpintine or some sort of solvent with you or in your car0 its friggin nasty stuff.
IMO, wind farms are the solution and would rather see those spinning off in the horizon any day over a nasty oil/ gas well...
Wind & solar is really the only solution to our problems. its clean, its some what reliable, and we dont have to ship it in from the middle east.
the rigs are very good for fishing down in texas, but a wind turbine tower would be just as good
