Mid-Summer New Honey Extraction Moon
Here’s a question to test your judgement. If you had an industrial application already noted for its 100% bad track record in all installations (sulfide mining), who might you call to cope with the negative fall out? What? Did you say Tony Hayward? Who’s he? You remember the Gulf Oil Spill of recent environmental catastrophe fame, right? Do you remember the BP Executive who said, a week or so into the mess, “I want my old life back.”? Yep. Tony Hayward, former CEO of BP. Well, you did better than I imagined. Right on the first try. Yes, Glencore Corporation and their Polymet sulfide mining plant that is under the permitting process now, chose Tony, Big Oil, Hayward as their go to guy in case–really, given the track record, when–something happens, something that can’t be explained but needs someone to stand up and take the heat anyhow. Tony’s just the right guy.
Hard to imagine a less savory choice, but the sulfide mining folks found him. Maybe the C students run corporations, too?
