Listen to Life of an Oil Man
Life of an Oilman tells the stories of the great petroleum entrepreneurs of the past.
J. Paul Getty said, “The meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights.” These men bought and traded mineral rights, and they drilled their way to success.
These men built the modern world with abundant and cheap energy. Listen now to Life of an Oilman.

“Cheap” Wind to Cost UK $2 Bln This Year
Wind power curtailment this year in the UK would cost some $2.3 billion.
That would be up from $1.9 billion last year.
Guess who’s shouldering the additional burden.
Electricity demand is 46.26 GW. The UK’s 31 GW of installed wind capacity is generating 2.6 GW (6% of demand).
We’re importing twice as much electricity from abroad as wind is generating. Invest in candles.
