Here at NTA we have been giving out the "Flaming Oil Rig" award to politicians supporting offshore drilling in particularly egregious ways. Like CA Rep. Sam Blaskesless' attempt end-run the CA State Lands Commission's denial of the PXP project in Santa Barbara.
Today, we are awarding the Flaming Oil Rig award to none other than.... A FLAMING OIL RIG.
The oil rig off the coast of Australia, which has been spilling for 71 days, burst into flames on the weekend.
The damaged West Atlas rig, situated 125 miles off the coast of West Australia, caught fire on Sunday during the latest attempt (at least the 4th) to plug the leak which covered an area of at least 5,800 square miles in the ocean.
