Our Site Needs to Unite

Joe Dyer here, I have been reading all my messages in my box the last few months. To be honest with everyone I have been rather disapointed.

We need to share our information on everything we learn and find out. I know we all have our differences, but I think we should not use this site to show… Continue

Petrohawk sends bonus checks

We signed three years ago for pennies. Today I received a letter stating they had extended our contract until 2011. Included was the same amount for bonus as we originally received( pennies). The contract does read that they can extend the contract. However, I thought they had to re negotiate the bonus amount. Thanks for the help. I'm new @ this blog thing so bare with me

Fracking: The Next Agent of Global Crises

First drinking water, now earthquakes? Truly becoming a "nuisance" for all seasons. Fracking may need an image makeover before this is all done. Maybe a new & younger woman by its side.

There is no consensus among scientists about whether the practice is contributing to the quakes. But such… Continue

Obama: "We have a lot to learn from Brazil" - Ok then, let's learn it.

See video - at least the first minute.





I definitely agree. Let's follow Brazil's 2 prong energy policy. Sounds good to me.



- Neither the Brazilian government nor state-run Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) is willing to stop producing oil and natural gas or to decrease output. Petrobras produces 1.9 million b/d of oil,… Continue
