Boots and Coots to the rescue
Texas oil-fire-fighting company Boots and Coots have been on standby in Kuwait for months, ready to put out oil-well fires in southern Iraq. Just nine wells were sabotaged and five continue to burn, a far cry from the 741 wells the Iraqis set afire on their retreat from Kuwait in 1991. This has helped keep oil prices under $30 a barrel after rising to a 12-year high of $39.99 in late February.Posted By Judith (Kesher Talk) at April 1, 2003 08:40 PM | TrackBack Comments
These guys are the ones profiting from the war. It gives them a false sense to raise their prices, padding their profits. Trust me, look at their earnings. They're going up!
