Back in November, the Sierra Club announced their intent to sue some prominent energy companies for causing Oklahoman's wild, wacky and totally terrifying earthquake epidemic. You can read our original post about it here. At the time, I joked about the energy industry's refusal to comment about the lawsuit:
The Oklahoman contacted all the companies above for comment and none of them replied. I really don’t blame them. If I was a greedy oil baron, I wouldn’t comment either. Instead, I’d stay quiet for a few weeks to let the news pass. Then I’d covertly work with The Oklahoman and Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office on a campaign that will try to label and demonize the groups behind the suit as greedy, liberal, big government hacks that will stop at nothing to protect and promote their own self interests over that of people. Basically, I’d try to get everyone to think that these environmental groups operate like oil companies.
