49 Oil Platforms Destroyed by Ike

Looks like the damage to oil platforms and refineries in the gulf were not as bad as it could have been. We definitely dodged another natural disaster bullet.

This country needs a significant source of alternative fuels now. If nothing else, it gives a diversification of fuel sources, not to mention jobs and the ability to keep our money at home.

More drilling may help in the short term, but it only buys us time to develop electric vehicle technology and an efficient alternative fuel infrastructure.
