I can see coming up with energy alternatives, but I suspect it's going to be a lot harder to replace plastics in our lives.

Do you think we'd ever be able to give consumers information about where the oil comes from? (I'm thinking about the connection between Citgo and Venezuela I heard about a few years ago -- I'd much rather support Texas & Oklahoma oil.)TexasRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552612565762386171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504585770830524971.post-27577239862002247432009-02-18T22:29:00.000-06:002009-02-18T22:29:00.000-06:00Nice post!!!

I'm sick of it always getting a bad wrap (thanks to the media).<BR/><BR/>My maternal grandfather had a well service company for years & my mother worked for the oilpatch as well, so I've been around it all my life too.<BR/><BR/>It would be so nice if everyone knew that there is a difference in buying gasoline and the vast amount of products produced from petroleum...

Remember the one in the 80's, and Texas retrained a lot of oilfield workers to be nurses. During this last stint in the hospital, I noticed that the oilfield has moved to the medical field.<BR/><BR/>The shunt they put in your arm to start an IV---oilfield. The Xmas tree contraption they add to that so you can get 4 different meds by 4 different delivery systems-oilfield. The very process of running a camera into a artery-oilfield. These and numerous other medical advances were fueled by the injection of oilfield workers into another field.<BR/>I know the guy who patented the xmas tree iv. Very Very Wealthy now. <BR/>Don't worry bankers and politicians are the new scapegoat.scottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359727933462858192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504585770830524971.post-21592045465499222982009-02-18T08:14:00.000-06:002009-02-18T08:14:00.000-06:00You tell em Janie!
