A headline accompanying a recent article about the oil and gas industry touched a nerve with me earlier this week. The headline reads “Oil patch states may have seen the last boom”, a theme we increasingly see arising in the energy-focused media space as the ongoing price collapse for crude oil extends into its third year.
The article itself is fine: well-written, sourced, and perfectly logical from a current events standpoint. Honestly, I don’t even really have any criticisms of it – it’s a good read, and I can see why someone would reach the conclusions the article reaches.
