Innovex CEO Letter to North Face

I wanted to share this letter because it emphasizes the necessity and greatness of oil & gas. This letter was written by Adam Anderson, CEO of Innovex Downhole Solutions - an oil and gas company. When looking to buy North Face jackets for his employees as a gift, North Face said they would not sell to an oil and gas company.

This is an all around good letter that sets the standard of human flourishing and energy needs that lead to that.

Island of Bryan Solar Panel Numbers are Horribly Misleading

Who doesn't want to be all sustainable and oh so environmentally friendly? I was watching the show and they brought down their 'friend' to help them get some solar panels on their resort. By friend, they mean some strategic business partnership to advertise the business, but that's not what I'm here to talk about - even though if this was an oil company 'friend' then all the numbers would be instantly scrutinized by default. Not in this case. And it just annoys me at how sloppy, misleading and downright fraudulent the way the solar crew present numbers. Here's how things were presented on the show: This is an island in the Bahamas which uses a diesel generator for electricity. Diesel is dirty. The cost of this electricity is 35 cents/kWh. Solar is only 5 cents/kWh. Solar is obviously clean. Pays itself back in three years. When things are presented like this it only make sense to do solar right? It's drastically cheaper. It's cleaner. It's j

The West is Weak: Russia Invades Ukraine

I haven't been writing a lot lately on this blog, but I felt the need to sign in and write about this. I've found myself feeling a bit depressed about the invasion of Ukraine - not because it happened, but due to how the west will predictably react to it. There will be a lot of talk, strong words, and even stronger rhetoric, but when the actual words become policy - it will be pathetically weak. There are people out there that seem to think or at least try to force the narrative of a simple dichotomy: either we accept Putin is doing it or it's WW3. Any normal person would find the choices here to be nauseating either way. If history is to serve a lesson, the first option often leads to the second option. But this dichotomy really illustrates the parameter that most people don't pick up on. The West is Morally Weak The facts are on the ground. The United States has the largest armed forces in human existence. A coalition of western powers is devastatingly more powerful

Milquetoast Brian Jean

I've been following the UCP leader campaign here in Alberta with great interest. There has been a very anti-Kenney sentiment in the air around here, in particular with Kenney's top down party style, the lack of pushing back at Ottawa and over COVID restrictions/vaccine passports. Brian Jean lost to Kenney and it looks like he lost because he was politically outmaneuvered - rather than a battle of ideas. He's obviously sour and was on the anti-Kenney train ever since. Let's just say that I was a bit excited that he's back. I wanted to see what he had to prove and that he may have some fire in him. The problem I have had with conservatives as of late is them being milquetoast. All that means is that they're very safe, very center and literally bring nothing to the table. Even though conservatives in CANADA say there are many things that need to change, they don't actually do anything all that different than the governing left. Maybe not as bad, but it all s
