Begging your pardon, but it would seem to me that the experts in the field are, strangely enough, in the field. You ask for chaos when you give decision making to people that don't know which end of a hammer is which. Better yet, those same rubes then expect some poor bastard (aka engineer) to implement their ridiculous solutions for free.

While I'm speaking universal truths, I think it's applicable to energy companies just fine.
