(1) insider selling, (2) selling frack waste water for irrigation, the (3) fight against gas produced outside the US, (4) the need for public relations and (5) occasional slips of the tongue by executives.
 
(1)  It is known that a Range Resources officer sold one hundred thousand shares
of his own last fall and January 8, 2016, reducing his direct ownership share by 1/8th. He also owns a great deal more indirectly, but at $26.16 a share , this is a significant cookie tucked elsewhere.  Range Resources is down by 51% this year.

(2) Here is a whole page of Mp3 audios about selling frack water to irrigate crops.  
 Anybody eager to have the product of those fields in their diet?

(3) Russia and Germany signed a contract to double the amount of Russian gas delivered to Europe in September.  This has the EU in an uproar.  The idea of an alliance between Germany, with its industry, and Russia with its resources, is enough to make Henry Kissinger have heartburn.  The military action in Ukraine and Syria are important to block Russian and Iranian gas from Europe, which has virtually no gas of it’s own.

(4) Here is an article titled “Oil execs attending secret meeting are schooled on how to handle ‘green radicals’: play dirty or lose.”  The first paragraph reads, “In a room filled with oil & gas executives,  a veteran lobbyist called Richard Berman held a crash course on how companies can use scare tactics and manipulation to make environmental groups look like radical morons. This includes digging up dirt on opponents (celebrities are the focus), exploiting basic emotions like fear and anger, skewing information and other dirty tactics, because in the end “you can either win ugly or lose pretty,” Berman said. Of course, these things would have never been admitted in public, but unbeknownst to Berman the whole meeting was taped by one of the executives who found the whole affair appalling, then made public by the New York Times. Berman is a real dirty bird, look him up.

(5) This is a good example of misspeak, “the CEO for the Colorado Oil & Gas Association reportedly said of fracking opponents: “These nuts make up about 90 percent of our population, so we can’t really call them nuts any more. They’re the mainstream.” - From a column by Lyle Hopkins in The Capital Times.

Clean energy is worth trillions.  Health, food, and comfort depend on it.  The hard part is to get the industry and politicians to accept that idea, too.

We’ll end on a happy note with two year-old titles: “Fracking’s Joy Ride Will End” ex-White House Spokesman Bob Weiner And Policy Analyst Hannah Coombs Say” and “Half of all new Energy world-wide last year was Green”
