In the 1970s, Chevron, Unocal, and Texaco all drilled the same energy source - and walked away to protect oil profits. One company spent sixty years quietly proving them wrong. Now Google has signed a 15-year contract, Bill Gates has committed $100 million, and a July 4th government decision could hand this sector its biggest catalyst yet. The oil majors are scrambling back in, but one company already owns the entire chain.tc pixel
