520			_a"Standing 60 feet above sea level on this oil platform [Petronius Oil Platform] 130 miles southeast of New Orleans, Rab Bruce pointed to where the huge wave slammed into a tangle of grated steel and multicolor pipes. 'I was just in shock at the damage,' said Mr. Bruce, a longtime field coordinator on Chevron's Petronius deepwater platform, which was hit by a 90-foot wave during Hurricane Ivan last September [2004]. 'I had never seen anything like this. Everything was busted, dangling and messed up.'" (NEW YORK TIMES) This article addresses the concern that hurricanes can create a shortfall in the world's energy supplies, noting that "even a temporary disruption of the deepwater platforms, rigs and sub-sea pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico--a region that pumps one-quarter of American oil production--could create big problems for energy producers and consumers alike."
