actually, I don't know that. The story has been spun and bought, hook, line and sinker. I don't know , for example, if these roads were solely chewed up by heavy oil company equipment, or suffered the normal wear and tear of use and the elements.
I don't dismiss it, out of hand , either, but I'm not so blinded by hate and rage of " BIG OIL " to buy such claims at face value.
It's called being skeptical.
And if Texas needs to rethink how they deal w/ the oil companies, then that's for them to decide. I don't get the point of having a conniption fit over this matter. It's a Texas issue. Let them figure it out.

No one had a "conniption fit" you moron.
You are the one and only person to stick up for the poor, downtrodden Oil Company, yet didn't speak a word to their responsibility.... untill shamed into it.
You're not fooling anyone. You're a "skeptic" in the way Glenn Beck is - completely partisan, and bat-shit crazy.

Bituminous rock, concrete, mineral products, and even tires, some of it.

Seriously, go read a book, LEARN something, hell EAT the damn thing, maybe learn by osmosis, or one could hope.

Do you need to be told what PETROLEUM is too ??
Good grief.
Asphalt concrete is a separate product, combining asphalt and other elements, like aggregate.

You have confused what I said and interjected something I never did say.
Of course i'm not gonna answer a question posed on a false premise from something which wasn't my point in the first place.
Carry on.

It's not just a Texas issue. Didn't you hear the president? Look who I'm asking.
Forgive my ignorance guys. I thought I was talking to someone who thinks in a logical manner. The president said that infrastructure, like roads and bridges, is important to our American way of life. And precisely, almost eerily, he was right.
Imagine, if you will, that an oil truck can't make it through the shitty roads in Texas to deliver their product outside the Texas borders because they can't get out. No oil delivery, no money for the benevolent oil companies.
Imagine further, that neighboring states to the east, west and north won't allow Texas oil deliveries because the shitty roads in Texas can't support the weight of their states businesses to deliver goods for sale in Texas.
Causing grief for Texans, as well as, their businesses. Where would this country be? Well, exactly where we are today.
Mainly because of people with your type of thinking. Who cares about the price of oil in Texas. Who cares about the conditions of the roads. Why should Texans pay taxes? Why should Texas-based businesses pay taxes?
It's the old trickle up theory.
