No, not at all. I'm not a politician. I don't have any conflict of interest here. I'm not running for office; I don't hold office. I'm a professor at Cornell University and a licensed professional engineer. I have tremendous experience in oil and gas well development, hydraulic fracturing, pipeline safety.
So when I make presentations in public—some of which you have probably seen on the Internet—they're in public fora, they're not in political fora, and I never say to anybody that they should write anybody to say to stop something.
What I usually say—in fact what I always say in conclusion--is think, act, do what you think is right.
