American Petroleum Institute (API) Shakes Up Top Management

We've made no secret of the fact we don't think the American Petroleum Institute (API), which is controlled by its Big Oil members (like Chevron and ExxonMobil), serves the best interests of the shale oil and gas industry. A few weeks ago we scolded API for its support of an oil and gas-killing carbon tax (see API Advocates for Destruction of the O&G Industry via Carbon Tax). Last week the API announced four different changes in upper management at the organization. In the organization replaced its top two lawyers. Six changes in three months. That seems like a lot--perhaps it can be called a shakeup?
