I can’t help but think that all the good, principled ones quitting is part of the plan.

Well written, interesting article. Sometimes it’s hard to see the work going on in the background, even if we don’t agree with how they’re going about it. It sounds like it all comes down to an accountability issue, how is oil and gas being held accountable for their empty promises (which we’ve made deal based on before and lost).
