Insight and inspiration in turbulent times.
In this environment of high oil and natural gas prices, those who have a vested interest in drilling will naturally lobby for the right to do so. This really shouldn’t strike anyone as strange. What we should not do is base our energy policy on the outlandish pronouncements of industry players about the success they expect.
There is a growing recognition that the oil crisis is not going away anytime soon. You wouldn’t know that from listening to the Saudis. Here’s my general advice to all people, including the “experts” waiting for the results of the Jeddah summit: tune the Saudis out. We won’t be fooled again, but will you?
