we’re getting a painful lesson in economic geography. what wall street is to money, or
hollywood is to entertainment, the gulf coast is to energy. it’s a vast assemblage of refineries,
production platforms, storage tanks and pipelines—and the petroleum engineers, energy
consultants and roustabouts [oil field workers] who make them run. consider the concentration
of energy activity. oil production in the gulf of mexico accounts for nearly 30 percent of the u.s.
total. natural-gas production is roughly 20 percent. about 60 percent of the nation’s oil imports
arrive at gulf ports. nearly half of all u.s. oil refineries are there. [hurricane] katrina hit this
immense system hard. the shock wave to the u.s. and world economies—which could vary from
a temporary run-up in prices to a full-blown global recession—depends on how quickly
america’s energy-industrial complex repairs itself. .
