So, how ridiculous is this?

I have seen eagles land on the crown of an operating drilling rig.

I have seen an owl ride the kelly hose, and other owls perch on light stanchions looking for mice making their way among pallets of drilling mud components.

I watched as deer crossed the rig location by the pipe racks (75 feet from the wellbore), evading hunters.

I have worked where bighorn sheep lined up on a ledge above the rig and watched us drill, I'm guessing out of curiosity.

The animals don't care.

They don't get hurt, and life goes on for all of us.

This is more of the weapons-grade anti-energy stupidity out of this administration, and this winter America will feel the bite.

What is more astounding is after the rig is gone, all that remains is a couple of storage tanks and a very small natural gas pump.
The days of the eye sore donkey pump are long gone

I have been at the shooting range and we had to stop so Bambi and it’s tribe can trapse across our field of fire to get wherever they are going.

Had to stop for condors and even a rabbit...

Wildlife lives just fine everywhere.

Heck, there is an annual Condor watch as they hatch and eventually take flight, spring through summer, every year and this happens on top of the San Jose, CA City Hall, which was only erected 9 years ago.

this stoopit .............period.
