Warren could vaporize America's oil boom

"Warren, currently the odds-on favorite to be the Democratic presidential nominee, wants to ban fracking "everywhere." And the Massachusetts senator pledged to immediately sign an executive order to stop all new offshore drilling leases."

"... such a move would halt America's historic shale oil boom in its tracks, drive up gasoline prices, threaten good-paying jobs and make the nation more dependent on foreign oil."

"Wall Street analysts are already warning shareholders about the potential hit to the share prices of oil companies, which remain widely held in portfolios despite the climate crisis."

Gee, all those oil comapnies in the portfolios of all those 401K's will be dropping? That will teach the .1% a lesson.

Lad, don't you work in some oil field related industry?

No.

Sorry. I guess I misunderstood some of the things you have said about being out in the field. I hope your company is Warren-proof.

Lots of jobs have field components to them. I work in the environmental consulting industry - serve lots of different clients (which include O&G firms, the feds, manufacturing, agriculture, and on and on).

A Warren presidency might be a good thing for your company, if your clients can continue to pay you. (The Feds can, of course)

It's an ill wind that blows no good.

The field "component" for my importing business involved a lot of travel to towns both large and small. One company I dealt with had a phone number of 2. Strangest big/little town I ever saw. So I did my share of clambering up steep hills and jumping small streams.
