Hello, 
Oil workers and oil towns are like Tobacco workers and towns used to be. Dying and not realizing it. It is sad to see that people have not caught on to the fact that oil is not sustainable (in many ways besides Environmental), and that investment into other areas has not been increased greatly. We will be left behind. Others have figured it out and moved on, and we have not. Hell, we look like we still allow smoking in restaurants and classrooms.   

Open your eyes.
