  • Why ExxonMobil Took the Nat Gas Plunge Now [View article]
    Actually, thinking about it, XOM took the plunge to natural gas over 150 years ago; "Oil and Gas." 95% of the people in the US do not realize that the Gas in Oil and Gas is Natural Gas. They think the only reason for Oil and Gas Companies is to overcharge them for the gasoline that they want to waste.

  • Is Apache Corporation a Solid Investment? [View article]
    When I graduated in 1978, I got one of those good green jobs. For $5/hour, I killed kangaroo rats, making flat skins, putting their organs in labeled vials, and putting their carcasses in boxes with flesh-eating insects. I also worked on gasohol, that's when we used to put alcohol into gasoline, until 5 years later we found it was inefficient and polluting. I then worked on coal gasification. We made methane out of CO2 and H2, but it was more important to keep the CO2 in the atmosphere to protect against the coming iceage.
    In 1980, I got a job with a Major Oil Company working on projects to protect the environment, protect water aquifers, and provide added safety to workers. Since retiring, I have been offered a dozen green energy jobs, but they are only interested in making money. Tell your nephew if he is interested in protecting the environment, get a job with an oil or gas company

  • Six Companies Poised to Gain from a Natural Gas Auto Mandate [View article]
    The 1982 Chevy Chevette got 60 mpg at 55 mph. It got 40 mpg in traffic. People don't want vehicles with good fuel economy.
    We don't actually need better vehicles, we need better drivers. The average driver is like someone that buys a gallon of milk and pours a quart to 3 pints down the drain. They then cry that the dairy farmers are stealing milk out of their children's mouths. If everyone one slowed down and quit tailgating, this would make a big difference. The traffic jams would go away too. I am retired now, but when I worked I got over 70 mpg in my Buick LeSabre. I car pooled. I only get 30-32 mpg now.
