Reality Check
Reality Check was started by CEO, Richard Loomis, and Jim Puplava of the Financial Sense News Hour to discuss the reality of Energy, Finance and Politics and their undeniable connection. The series covered the very real issues surrounding Energy and the nuances of politics and finance.
Started in 2008, the series ran through 2010 and focused on the high prices, the low prices and the recovery. Richard and Jim got into heated discussions about the media coverage, the policy decisions, the tax issues and the ever increasing need for hydrocarbon energy.
Watching the videos today is very interesting. The topics are relevant even though they were shot for a different time. It seems the more things change the more they stay the same.
