As we careen through a presidential primary season that plays more like a reality TV show than a civilized vetting of who can best lead our nation and its place in a tumultuous world, nary a word is spoken of oil and gas. The industry is in an epic battle for survival, simultaneously fighting depressed commodity prices, an overwhelming supply of Saudi oil, the destruction of the oilfield service industry and global competition for LNG. Meanwhile, the current administration has closed access to reserves off the East Coast in the next five-year plan, yet no one on the campaign trail— on either side—sees votes to be gained from energy talk.
