Our ports are not deep enough for some big ocean-going vessels to work at importing and exporting oil.

I know many of you do, or have friends and family that work to supply energy to America and the world. This article from the New York Times is one of the most engaging pieces I have read in a very long time. It is a lengthy article but one that I believe is well worth your time. You will find yourself on board the DeepWater Horizon on that fateful day, you will feel the emotion and know the bravery of so many. You will feel the pain and the loss as well.
