Commentary: Direction Of The Blog -- October 17, 2018
I started the blog in 2007, deleted it in 2009, and started over that same year.I started the blog to better understand the Bakken. For some reason I had the feeling that the Bakken was going to be "different" than previous oil boom and bust stories. I knew nothing about "oil," and my intention was to simply to track the Bakken on Microsoft Word documents and Xcel spreadsheets, but about the very same time, the USAF required that I learn how to set up a website.
So, there you have it.
Along with the Bakken there were a number of other energy stories and non-energy stories that interested me from the stand point understanding the issue. I posted on political issues because such issues are important to put things into perspective. I follow the US equity market because "following the money" often explains things that otherwise don't make sense.
I assume the blog will not change much but there is a possibility that I will blog less on some energy stories and some non-energy stories.
So, at 9:09 a.m., October 17, 2018, this is where I stand with regard to the blog:
- hopefully my emphasis on the Bakken does not change; I've met my objectives for starting the blog in the first place; my reasons for continuing the blog have changed; it's less about understanding the Bakken and more about simply chronicling an incredible story; the Bakken never ceases to amaze me; I hope I live long enough to see Bakken 3.0;
- other than the Permian, the other shale plays, including the Eagle Ford, interest me not, but I will update periodically if the news is important enough
- global warming: it's a political issue and pretty much no longer interests me; my blogging on global warming will probably decrease over time
- politics: hard to say where I will go with this; Trump has proved that America can be great again; we've seen how fast a dynamic country like American can turn under the right leadership; whether the general public accepts that and re-elects him (if he runs again) is "their" problem; I've lost interest; following the Clintons and the Trump story has taught me a lot about parsing sentences and learning the definition of one-syllable words
- in the energy sector what interests me most is the yawning and incredibly increasing gap between energy-rich and energy-poor countries. I think Europe is in a world of "hurt," and it will be interesting to follow that story
- Russia doesn't interest me except as it affects Europe
- Greece absolutely, positively does not interest me
- Saudi Arabia is absolutely fascinating; the rest of the Mideast, yawn
- global warming: it's a political issue and pretty much no longer interests me; my blogging on global warming will probably decrease even more over time; oh, I already said that
- future of wind energy: depends 100% on politics; no longer an economic or science issue; I get it; interests me not; ditto, solar, but even more so;
- EVs: fascinating; will follow simply to see how this plays out; won't affect me; will affect my granddaughters
- Apple: generally only interested during earnings season; company's technology is evolutionary, no longer revolutionary, but I hope that changes
- Bakken 3.0: I've been struggling to "define" Bakken 3.0 -- but it finally hit me -- perhaps it was a note from a reader last night -- Bakken 3.0 will begin with the new USGS Bakken survey (which is way overdue)
- notes to the granddaughters; travelogues; books; social media; US "culture" -- that's what I really love to write about -- even more than the Bakken -- but I've found that "personal" blogs are enjoyed by generally only one person: the writer
More later, perhaps.
