ricco67 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I guess a brief summary is out of the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgriff Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I guess a brief summary is out of the question?The article discusses what Houston is doing to position itself for the post-oil economy. It says Houston is to energy as Hollywood is to entertainment. The tone of the article seems to indicate that this will not change. There are interviews with a few energy executives... T. Boone Pickens and Mike Linn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 What about dubai? hasn't it trying to take houston's place?I wouldn't really see Dubai and Houston as direct competitors. A lot of the focus in Dubai has been tourism and financial services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockmat Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 If you all want to read the article without a membership copy "Houston: Where Energy is King" into Google, click Google news and you can read the whole thing.you need a membership to read it? I guess I have a username and password with them, but I read it before i signed in. sorry about that. I think it's free to sign up anyway.What about dubai? hasn't it trying to take houston's place?I don't think Dubai is a major player in oil anyway, could be wrong. But from what I understand, it's emirates neighbor, Abu Dhabi a few miles away is the major oil city, not Dubai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
