ABSTRACT

There is one word in our current vernacular that is responsible for a high level of consternation and trepidation among many industrial organizations (this is especially true for the oil and gas drilling industry-the so-called privileged upper 1%) while at the same time is a blessing, a God-sent protective device against those bad-boy industrialists who dare to foul the air we breathe and the water we drink (shame on them!). That Earth-shaking word? Regulation, of course.
