Another Oil spill as Barge strikes well.

A barge struck an abandoned well just north of Barataria Bay early this morning, causing oil and natural gas to shoot 100 feet skyward, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

Oil prices dropped on Tuesday following disappointing reports on consumer confidence and manufacturing.

What does an American oil or natural gas company look like? It seems like a simple question. But to many policymakers in Washington, those responsible for delivering stable supplies of homegrown oil and gas essential to keep our economy fueled and energy prices stable for struggling families are all “big oil.” This common perception in Washington, and elsewhere, is wildly detached from the facts.
