Not sure this is the wisest course of action for Polis.
“minting” dollar bills???
“Hickenlooper has made a career of endearing himself to the public by pursuing consensus, imbuing policy positions with a salesman’s innate optimism and embracing his personal quirks and natural, affable awkwardness.”
That’s why he signed those anti-gun bills that got his fellow demoncraps recalled and driven from office.
Politically sharp as a bowling ball, that one.
Natural gas extraction is about the only industry left in Colorado with high-paying jobs. They’ve shut down coal, mining and ranching, and half the gas companies have already left. Four firearms manufacturers have left, and construction is dead.
Question: do Democrats want there to be ANY jobs left around here? Or just in Boulder?. The rest of us can just serve them when they come over here to ski and mountain bike.
Local fracking shutdowns are not a problem. 90% of all new wells have to be fracked, so the practice is not going away.
Any product not produced as a result of bans will simply be produced later when the bans are removed out of necessity.
In the meantime fracking bans support prices.
Which sounds good if you are a mineral rights holder.
