dont go all 'conspiracy' on me. a major problem for oil rigs is CORROSION just as it is for shipping. running turbines at at sea is expensive and running underwater power cables is as well. this new concept of pushing salt water onto land is an excellent one where corrosionis far less and more easily maintained.
If I haven't seen and experienced conspiracy first hand, I would agree with you, but I can give you an example of it:
put in for a contract of loading ballast onto Railway trucks for
9 shilling a cubic yard, had to to deposit approximately 6 month wages, which I would have forfeited if I could not fullfill my contract; did not get contract, but the person who got the contract asked for 11 shilling a cubic yard.
As I knew one of the person who was on the board which allocated this contracts, I asked him why was the contract given to the person with a higher quote? His reply:"you have to kneow how to put in this contracts".
The contract was a government contract.
now I,am glad that I did not get the contract, because the ballast was form a uranium mine, where probably there was a lot of radiation. [/quote]
when you use the term 'shilling' we know this story is at least 45 years old and probably more like 60 years. how about something a tad more current?
and it remains true what i said. the existence of a conspiracy in one place doesnt imply it is the natural order of things. It is surprising to even need to explain that.
