I was building oil and gas recovery plants. I wasn't delivering water to them.

So did working under close supervision as a pipe fitter in such plants give you expert knowledge about oil and gas exploration, drilling, or the economics thereof? There is certainly no evidence that working around coal mining operations has given you any special insight into that industry. People who actually work in the coal mining industry say that Obama is doing very real long term damage to the industry, but you say to that all of them are wrong.
