When you drive around East Texas and Fort Worth (with the Barnett Shale) for a small example, you can't help but notice the GOOD that is coming from exploration. Too many people think that guys in our profession just sit back and enjoy the profits that come rolling in when it is quite the opposite. We are just as concerned as everyone else.
Yes. I would agree that mixed fuels are better. One of the reasons why your gas is high right now is because of the switchover to ethanol based gasoline, which burns cleaner than the old MTBE.
Do you mind me asking what energy company in Oklahoma? I had a couple internships in the past with Newfield Exploration and Cheasapeak...Tulsa and OKC respectively...and met a lot of good people from quite a few different companies.

I use to live in Dallas for a year. Anyway, up in Seattle--whew. It's gets frustrating sometimes... Folks get nervous when I tell them the Texans concept of "gun control"... LOL
And I am originally from SoCal...
The betterment of the people needs to be weighed vs. that of the environment. That was difficult to do in Dallas when I was there--because the concept of recycling was absent at best. It may have to do with how much land you all have vs. a smaller state (like Washington)--resources are precious where we are.
And from a SoCalian's perspective--we might lose our land due to an Earthquake, but then all the geologist I have spoken to tell us differently. Land is more COSTLY in like Boulevard, California--or hayle in off Xzzyxx Road LOL... So even if we find an Extraterrestrial Space ship in the middle of nowhere California STILL will cost more that some beachfront properties in some areas...
As far as my Uncle goes he is with the Williams Company...
