Eric Spellman, owner and president of the web design and online marketing firm Spellmann and Associates in Amarillo, Texas, says green entrepreneurs often
mistakenly think they can sell through social.
Its undoing as an independent company began in 1982 when T. Boone Pickens, an Amarillo, Texas oilman and corporate raider(or greenmailer),
and owner of Mesa Petroleum, made an offer for the comparatively larger(but still considered"non-major" oil company) Cities Service Company(more generally known by the name Citgo) from Tulsa, Oklahoma, which was then trading in the low 20s.
