lolTarrio, in an interview with Reuters Tuesday, denied working undercover or cooperating in cases against others. “I don’t know any of this,” he said, when asked about the transcript. “I don’t recall any of this.”

It's nice to see people paying the price for purposely providing false information about voting on the internets.

Spoken like a true elitist.Lurch tells oil/gas workers to move to Phoenix.
I wish they would just be honest. The phrase "green jobs" is one of the biggest scams of the last decade.

Biden keeps pipeline: thousands of truckers, railroad workers, and shipping logistics jobs lostLurch tells oil/gas workers to move to Phoenix.
Biden stops pipeline: 2 thousand jobs created for 2 years. Then 35 permanent after that. Still putting thousands out of work
Damned if you do or don’t

There is no evidence the pipeline was putting truckers out of work. Most trucking companies are dying for competent CDL holders. You can basically name your price with some of the bigger firms.Biden keeps pipeline: thousands of truckers, railroad workers, and shipping logistics jobs lostLurch tells oil/gas workers to move to Phoenix.

Besides Lurch is not talking about Keystone here.

This was from last year, but still interesting. I don't remember it being posted here, but it's been a long year: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states ... -gas-wells
It's a much longer article that's worth a read for Pennsylvanians.Ten thousand acres of Pennsylvania’s only national forest have given way, tree by tree, over the last 70 years to an oil drilling operation unique in its scope in the northeastern United States.
A network of wells, tanks, pipelines, pump houses and roads grew into the shape of an italic L cut into the Allegheny National Forest in Elk County to harvest $350 million worth of oil. The lower leg is nearly 6 miles long; the upper one roughly 9 miles. The imprint is visible by satellite.
What worries state and federal environmental regulators isn’t the project’s growth but its death.
Last year, the company that owns the field — Kane-based ARG Resources — quietly shut it down. The company didn’t have the money to run the operation — let alone plug and decommission its 1,600 wells, dozens of buildings and tanks and roughly 150 miles of roads.
“There was just one guy left working there, and he wasn’t working there anymore,” said Scott Perry, Pennsylvania’s head oil and gas regulator.
Although the ARG Resources’ operation is unusual in many ways, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection officials see it as a harbinger of a troubling trend. Perry calls it “the looming crisis.”
A staggering drop in oil prices is threatening to cause a cascade of abandoned wells across Pennsylvania’s traditional oil and gas industry.
There are already roughly 200,000 orphaned wells dotting the commonwealth — abandoned by their owners over a century of drilling. For most of that time, fully sealing off expired wells wasn’t required.
Each abandoned well is a risk, although the danger depends on age, decay and proximity to people. They can channel gas and oil to the surface, pollute streams and drinking water, create explosion hazards when gas seeps into homes and emit climate-changing gases.
Very little money has been allocated for finding and plugging the old wells. Last year, DEP received about $1 million to fund the work. It is sealing abandoned wells at a rate of fewer than a dozen per year.
At that pace, it will take 17,500 years and about $6.6 billion.
The overwhelming scale of the problem has made DEP officials more determined — and creative — to prevent new abandonments. In the Allegheny National Forest, the state is trying to find a way out by giving one high-minded entrepreneur a chance to clean up where another’s grand plans are crumbling.
The unorthodox agreement with a Canadian businessman would use ARG’s forest footprint to help solve the problem — by making products from other oil and gas operators’ salty wastewater. A portion of sales from the new company, AquaPower Chemicals, will go toward plugging wells that ARG has retired.
The project’s outlook is increasingly uncertain as oil demand collapses amid a global public health crisis. But new solutions may be even more vital now that oil prices are at the lowest level in decades.
Perry, citing psychology’s prospect theory, said when you’re in a losing position, you are more willing to take a chance on a long shot.
“There is no risk to us because we’ve already lost,” he said.

That's kind of what I mean, though. They dominated and feasted for over a century. Now I'm supposed to, what, start a GoFundMe for them? Naaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Freddy probably has friends in the oil industry that had to shut down their derrick instead of paying for labor.

The post was mostly making fun of Captain Botox for telling oil/gas workers to "go make solar panels"...as if that makes any sense, economically or socially.That's kind of what I mean, though.

I was just drawing a parallel between the oil industry and your restaurant friends. Sometimes it's just time to be over.
