... maybe I'll give it another go.

"Blowout" really is quiet remarkable, and it shines a light on the oil/gas industry as it has evolved in the last 25 years. Also Blowout is great at explaining how certain states (mainly Oklahoma and Texas) have been corrupted by oil industry politics.

Congratulations Rachel on your well-deserved award!
