OKC, 700 Fracks, and Interstellar
Local Energy 31, 2025
Peter jumped on a plane last week and flew out to OKC to meet Wade IRL.
Ahead of schedule?
Yes.
Are we still planning on another Oklahoma adventure in October?
Also yes.
Either way, we had a great time and we’re back at it this week with some new questions, answers, and deep dives.
Just went to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum… had no idea barbed wire was such a big deal.
