"EASTEXAS" (Brown Jeffery) the optimistic party on dude wants to drill WESTEXAS (Jeffery Brown) about oil reserves...coming soon to a gas station near your hometown...bring your credit card 'cuz your gong to need it.
I guess it's time for an alter ego:
"Step-the-way-forward" or "Yergintopian"?
I'm not sure which resonates better.

Here is what my Yergintopian side would say

is my mission:

"We will never run out of oil".

"Humankind has always moved forward. Progress my friend, always we will have progress."

"Ask not what your oil company can do for you, ask what you can do for your oil company."
