The author at work on a good day… the sun is shining, water is calm, I’m just standing around with my hands in my pockets and wearing dark sunglasses. Everything is going as it should. A temporary condition, no doubt.
For background purposes (and in the interest of full disclosure): The author of this blog has never worked directly for an oil company. I have been a federal regulator of the oil industry here in Alaska, a state regulator of the oil industry (also in Alaska), and have worked for various service industries that cater to oil companies. As an Alaskan resident, I also get a share of the royalty proceeds from oil production in the state (the Permanent Fund Dividend, or PFD). So you could argue that I get bribed by the oil companies once a year.
Some days I do actually work… while other people have really bad days…
[...] More on the Offshore Drilling Bait-and-Switch Much more informed and more rigorous info on the issue I blogged here, outsourced to Wilco 278. [...]
Sure hope you don’t mind me using your site as a reference. I’m out of energy in the fight to counter the dumb ass Williams poo poo. “There is a sucker born every minute.”
Thanks
