Oil rigs and their dangers
published: 29/09/11, 09:32
Hello,
There is a lot of talk about nuclear power, but there are other energy-related activities, which are also very dangerous, I would say increasingly dangerous.
Drilling at sea is becoming more and more deep, and the number of accidents is more and more risky. (4000 meters becomes normal.)
In addition, these accidents are not reported in the press.
The sea is also our mother, finally, for many people.
The beaches in China are super polluted, this is an example.
In fact, the seas become big dumping grounds, or anything goes.
A small, and old video, which shows that the money could be used for other "cleaner" operations: platform accidents:

Sea pollution, in figures:

PS, I skipped the article a bit, but my goal was to focus on hidden accidents, and the high risk of drilling in extreme depths.
