Baker Hughes Could Add Hundreds of Jobs in Oklahoma Over Next Ten Years -- Not a Bakken Story

Link here.

This actually isn't a very important story in the big scheme of things, but it's important to those living in northeastern Oklahoma.

What struck me: this is another example of all the domestic jobs, most of them high-paying with great benefits, that are available in the oil and gas industry. But, as I've noted before, 2000 - 2010 will go down as the "lost decade" when the nation was sidetracked by a scam and lost its focus on energy independence.

I don't hold out much hope for the next few years due to moratoria on drilling off-shore the United States, to include Alaska, and the moratoria on hydraulic fracking in upstate New York.

I see that Jay Leno is now driving a coal-powered hybrid.
