Wind and Oil

My interest in wind, the ocean and my experience of sailing has led me to research the oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. While I am taking a look at the 109 oil platforms that where destroyed in Hurricanes Rita and Katrina I can see the irony in the term "Wind Power". The very force that we could harness for our energy is the same force that can bring these massive ocean built structures to their knees.
