An Idea for the Permian Basin: Leave It Alone

The Permian Basin is a vast sedimentary basin in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico that is the largest oil and gas-producing region in the United States.

I just got an email from “East Daley,” whose white paper Permian Basin at a Crossroads “breaks down who stands to benefit—and who’s at risk.”

I can answer these questions without even reading the white paper:

Who stands to benefit (monetarily): Greedy pigs whose investments are ruining the planet.

Who’s at risk: The eight-plus billion people on this planet who, along with their descendants, are counting on a stable climate.
