Energy Industry Perspective on Louisiana Coastal Land Loss
The article published on August 6, 2007 on CNNMoney.com is worth reading. The article is titled: The next energy crisis. More than a quarter of America's oil flows through southern Louisiana. Too bad the land is slowly sinking into the sea, and was written by Fortune Magazine senior writer Nicholas Varchaver. This article is different because it was written about the views of business people in the energy industry on Louisiana coastal land loss. This article describes how important the Louisiana coastal wetlands are to the production of 27% of America's oil and 30% of its natural gas. It also describes the challenges that businesses in the energy industry are facing as Louisiana's coastal wetlands are lost to open sea.
