We must save Mother Earth! You did not get the memo?

People are really getting fracking crazy out there.
Compare.
Mora-poor.
Farmington NM- Rich.
Roswell-Rich
Carlsbad-Rich.
Guymon OK rich
Woodward OK-Rich.
All because of fracking and gas extraction.
Central Oklahoma is now going gangbusters because of oil drilling.
Now compare Van Buren county Arkansas -Poor, but not any more now that gas extraction is taking place.
Of course, when the boom is over, things may change as I’ve seen happen many times.
Mora will still be poor, but the other areas will also be poor for those who don’t have mineral rights.
The efficacity of an engineering solution has never been determined by popular vote. Either the system works, or it does not. When the system does not work, or is ineffective, then the shortcomings are determined and overcome.
Prohibiting any course of action altogether, especially on flimsy arguments against it, is denial of the ingenuity of the human mind. All the Luddites that railed against the introduction of weaving machinery for cloth, were proved to be obstacles in the growth of prosperity through industrial development. Ned Ludd, a 18th century Leicestershire workman who destroyed a knitting frame, was the spiritual leader of a widespread movement among the guilds of manual workers, who wrongly though their livelihoods were being destroyed by the new technology.
blah blah blah dispite the fact that fracs have never polluted anything, they are bad.
ethanol production is good. nevermind it takes a gallon and a half of gas to produce one gallon of ethanol, nevermind that our ground water is being polluted with chemical fertilizers.
LOL, How much Fracking do they do in Towns ? LOL
We older ones have seen this before. Back in the 70’s with the anti-nuclear power ‘Clamshell Alliance’ types (and Hollywood of course with The China Syndrome).

Do you think if they brought back Elvis or the Beatles that these teeny-bopper girls would find another outlet for their hysteria?
I guess the “new” has worn off the Obama infatuation, fainting spells, etc. of a few years back.
Its like Obamacare: OK, go ahead!
OK so shut the natural gas supply off to those towns and comply with their wishes. The Japanese want LNG exports from the US, we can sell natural gas from fracking to them.
The political risk is simply too high to invest in any Colorado hydrocarbon resource play requiring fracking. Energy companies are already diverting capital to other geographical areas, if they have a choice in their portfolios. The worst situation is to discover a big field and be banned from developing it.
NM list PING!
Ping.
Meanwhile on Thursday Chickenpooper will take a trip to the Highway 34, US highway not state, and take personal credit for fixing the road because “you did not do that”
