Energy Supply

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Hurricane Katrina shut down almost all of the energy
production in the Gulf of Mexico, threatening the nation's short-term energy
future. Oil workers congregating here said Katrina
seemed certain to have demolished some of the infrastructure.
The storm idled 95 percent of crude oil production and
88 percent of the area's natural-gas output -- almost 25 percent of the nation's
oil output, said the U.S. Minerals Management Service, an arm of the Interior
Department.

Where is the aid and or help (or at least - the offers) from other countries? Has anyone heard of any? I read somewhere that Japan had offered to release some of its' oil reserves to the U.S.

Anyone heard of other aid offers?
