My email in-bin looks like a news desk right now, as alerts pour in about another oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, off the Louisiana shore. (Click here to see the Washington Post news flash. Click here to see the alert from the New York Times.)
Implications: On more than a few occasions, I’ve written about the likelihood of this summer’s (first) Gulf oil spill to elevate environmental awareness or action among consumers… and the inevitable scrutiny the oil industry will face, in terms of safety policies and procedures.
There are few details about what happened in this morning’s explosion. But it will certainly amplify sensitivity to the issues mentioned above... among consumers, as well as folks who are campaigning for elected office right now.
Stay tuned...
