Oil DOES rule the world!!!

The United States has agreed to postpone a missile launch test, amid concerns falling booster rocket debris could strike oil platforms on the Grand Banks off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador...

...The missile's 10-tonne booster rocket had been expected to land within 25 kilometres of the 200,000-barrel-a-day Hibernia platform...

...Exxon Mobil -- which alongside Petro-Canada, ChevronTexaco, Murphy Oil Corp., the government of Canada and Norsk Hydro is a partner in Hibernia -- studied the planned trajectory of the rocket and decided it was "too close for comfort," Graham said.

Located about 350 kilometres east of St. John's, Hibernia is Canada's biggest offshore oil operation.
OK I found this amusing... so much for missile defense if it may endanger oil production!
