When those guys were banging on the wrench in that first scene where they had the explosion, wouldn't they have a gas monitor on them are next to them?
Depends. I’ve been out of the field for a while but they usually only had H2S detectors and maybe one guy would have a tri gas. But that depended on who the operator was and what they required.

I've been waiting for someone to ask why they didn't smell it.

Wrong. Everyone knows the icecaps had jungles back in the day. The argument is more money can cool the solar system.

That scene is missing just one thing.
The US did not sign the Paris Accord that Obama was pushing, but the US was the only country that met its CO2 target under the Paris Accord, or at least the only major country.
Do you know why? Because the Fracking Revolution made natural gas cheap and available. Coal burning utility companies quickly realized that switching away from coal to natural gas made economic sense. So they did it, our CO2 emissions decreased, and we met those goals. No government program, no Washington heavy hand, no big government regulation, no taxpayer money spent. All of this accomplished by free market forces in the US while all those socialist and authoritarian countries didn't do sh!te, and it happened because a bunch of gas men applied hydraulic fracturing to natural gas production, mostly on private land where Obama couldn't stop it. Once the economics supported it, the free market eagerly adopted it, because it made business sense.
Then say the part about Exxon.

I'd prefer you post the one of her topless in episode 3. If you don't have Paramount it will air next this weekend on regular TV.

I’ve been calling it a hoax for 34 years, and I doubt you can find more than a few dozen people who beat me to it. We use terms like “hoax” as shorthand for more complex views. My view, back in 1990, was that the following statement was a bald face lie and the data supporting it was made up:
Hoaxer Statement: By 2025, or 2050 at the latest, the earth’s surface temperature will have warmed between 3.5 and 6.5 degrees F.
So, crewdepoo, how do you think we did? The hoaxers are now saying the global temperatures have risen 1.26 degrees F since 1990. That’s 34 years. They only have 25 left. Even if the rate picks up and they do another 1.25 in just 25 years, they still will fall far short of their lowest possible increase in their largest possible amount of time.
Conclusion: They were full of shite! In other words, it was a hoax.
At the time, the hoaxers were saying that there was no time to invent new tech; we needed to radically constrain our lifestyles in order to save us from an apocalypse. I was saying that we had a hundred years at least, which was plenty of time to invest in R&D.
Luckily Al Gore lost the most important election between 1980 and 2016. Had he won he would have committed us to the insane Kyoto Protocols that would have seen America’s economy destroyed like Germany’s has been. We still wasted trillions on unready green technology like solar and wind.
Eventually nuclear technology, along with other tech I don’t even know about yet, will save us from human induced climate change if it is indeed a problem.
We were right; the hoaxers were wrong.

It’s not as free as most people think. Midstream gets plenty of support from daddy govt to make sure they don’t have to compete on the free market. I deal with pipelines fricking up our front pasture every couple years and there isn’t shite I can do except cash the check for the amount they’re told to pay me with zero input myself.

Good scene, even if not true. Wind energy has a fraction of the total embedded carbon footprint of natural gas. It not even a debatable subject. Make Nuclear great again!

Yep.
The local cable company and two fiber companies have torn up my front yard several times, now the grass won't grow but the weeds do. We all deal with that to various degrees.
The midstreams didn't convert coal fired boilers to gas. The generation companies did. Here, they are regulated and reliable and low cost, so yes, there is a lot of Gov involvement, but it was still a business decision based on favorable economics.

We won't run out of oil in 120yrs more like 1200yrs if ever. It's mind boggling the amount of oil that is off the coasts of Brazil and Africa, plus there are millions of acres not yet explored for oil.
West Texas and New Mexico alone could run the US for another 120yrs. Unless you've worked out here it's hard to grasp just how big this area is. You can go 150 miles in every direction from Midland and still be in the oil field.

We are not running out of energy. The biggest impediment to energy access is the human brain.
I don't think it's that. It's the big money markets surrounding oil and gas, their influence on the federal government, that represses any new technology. Any patents are either bought or the federal government seizes the patent.
It's a racket. There are engines that could run on water and air, but the technologies haven't been pursued because oil, gas, and power companies don't want it to threaten their profits.

I'm pretty used to them tearing shite up, leaving monster energy drink cans all over the place and filling up our dumpster that we have to pay to get emptied. But the current group just pissed me off to a new level when they left a bunch of gates open and our horses got out. they easily could have ended up on the highway but luckily went to our neighbor's and he was about to get them in a pen. So, I went ahead and cut their locks off and put my own on until they call me back and get their shite together.
