Wow, this will get the enviroweenies knickers all in a twist. Good!
And who thinks they won't tie the whole thing up with lawsuit after lawsuit?
Just the requirement that local landowners can request water sampling and testing could slow down the process of bringing a well to market enough to eventually make the Monterey Shale formation unprofitable. I'm fine with that, though, since it will keep this resource from being used to postpone the eventual financial collapse of Kalifornia.
Never going to happen.
