“You nailed it. It’s disturbing to hear the FR Monday Quarterbacks, those claiming to know, those with 20/20 hindsight and especially those who’ve never been close to a drilling well, testing a well, etc. Those of us in the industry know full well the inherent danger with very heavy metal, high speed metal and moving parts, dangerous chemicals and potential ultra high pressure, volatile gas, casinghead gas, oil, etc.”
I agree. I do not know the industry but its overall safety record seems excellent. The safety record must be judged in the light of the dangerous conditions. I am grateful for the dedication and innovation of individuals who bring a vital product to market under dangerous conditions with incredible levels of regulations and taxation.
Thanks a million for the industry vote of confidence. You described our regulatory/taxation atmosphere most accurately. Shoot me your freepmail and I’ll send you a proprietary industry treatise on the Kerry/Lieberman proposed evisceration of the energy industry.
