Oil Drum was a great informative blazon of knowledge on the good but mostly bad of the oil industry and its awful sway of geo-political world and order. Nate's new site doesn't look cool or have the news we are accustomed to receiving from this great speaker of doom. At least the bearded dragon Hagens still has the oil drum site up for archives for now and the following is his bio on the soon to be extinct oil web page. he needs to get rid of the mickey mouse monkey site and help pull the oil drum back to full time grippinng and wellreading site it was for close to a decade.
