Looks like Chris Tomlinson can’t write and doesn’t know jack about business. I guess that is why he is a “business columnist” and not working in the real world. F’n mental midget.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt

Fracking is evolving, showing industry can do better

In other news, computer chip transistor density is evolving, showing industry can do better. So logically, chip makers should be required to sell chips with 100 times the transistor density of present chips. Assuming that the cost and time which the chip makers have put into the tech to increase the density of chips was unnecessary, and the improvements of the past would have happened spontaneously and instantaneously if not for the greedy people who insisted on being paid high salaries for years before they revealed the secrets that they always knew.

Perfect cynicism is natural to journalists, and also to socialists.

Ping! Here you see that some will continue to fuss and fume because they want to stop all use of fossil fuels!!!

This is even though they know full well that nothing can provide energy as safely, economically, or with the reliability and portability as fossil fuels.

You just have to be a commonista to resist such truth because even the Chi-Coms are now extremely high users of the superior fossil fuels!!!

While as a whole I like the fracking industry, they really have some unscrupulous players. Mrs TZ has relatives in Wisconsin (where most of the world’s frack sand comes from)that had an offer to buy their farm to frack there.

Without even being close to a deal, the frack company had people out cutting fences and old growth oaks. Her relatives had to call the sheriff to kick them out for trespassing.

They really employ a lot of heavy handed a-holes and expensive lawyers who operate under the premise it’s better to be in court than be in the right.
