Guest Post by Cabot Martin
Uncle Gnarley’s recent invitation to pen a few
words on Oil & Gas issues has emboldened me to return to a few of my
favorite offshore issues.
There will be two articles – the first on our most neglected sector, offshore natural gas development; the second on oil issues.
The natural gas aspect seems to be largely absent from the recent “Town Hall” efforts in support of the oil & gas industry’s continued presence and vigor in our offshore area.
These comments are meant to “complement those efforts” in the old days I would have said “demonstrate they are missing the boat” – but that was then and this is now.
Indeed, the first draft of this piece included a long list of unfortunate aspects of the natural gas debate – but in the interest of the common cause it ended up on the cutting room floor.
