<p class=MsoNormal>FYI, for those of you who get National Geographic make sure
you check out the map of all the offshore oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico
off Texas and Louisiana. If you don’t, find a copy. I can’t
tell you the last time I was so shocked. The number of platforms is absolutely
mind boggling. Who knew… <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Apparently the shoreline is actually getting lower. It’s
obvious that it’s a huge connected reservoir of oil. Is it the same with
groundwater? If groundwater reservoirs get “used up” and are not
continually recharged, is it possible for sinkholes to form? The ground above
to collapse? Just wondering…<o:p></o:p></p>
