Some folks here know that I retired after 30 years with a major in O&G and have always been on the lack of success of the sector here. When running properly a pile of jobs are offered that drive unemployment down ( a win?) I am really lost on the hate of the oil industry here.
People here in Oklahoma are thanking god that prices are rebounding. The ranchers, roughnecks, engineers, pipe yards, land companies, attorneys, restaurants, car dealers, accountants, investors and real estate companies are all praying it keeps going and is a trend and not a blip.
I’m just amazed that all the people who hate high gas prices don’t realize that the main beneficiaries of higher prices are, you guessed it, rural (fly over country) Republican voters.
