Survey Says Texas is Best Oil and Gas Venue

[Seleskya + 50]

Every year, the Fraser Institute puts out a survey of oil industry execs, ranking the best place in the world for investment in E&P. This is the 11th year they've done it and Texas took the number one spot. The five best (which means most attractive for investment) were: Texas, UAE, Alberta, Kuwait, Egypt.

Absolutely nothing produced by the Fraser "Institute" is done without bias. The organization has received huge amounts of money from the Koch brothers.

Charity???

"Koch brothers, owners of Koch Industries and a favorite target of the American left, had donated $373,721 in total to the Fraser Institute, arguably Canada’s most prominent right-wing think tank and an official charity registered with the Canada Revenue Agency."
