Vermont, where nobody drills for oil/gas and they want to keep it that way.

Vermont’s decision is fine with me. However, states that do frac for oil and gas should not ship any fuel to Vermont either.

Neither the Marcellus or Utica shale formations extend into Vermont.

Pure stupidity. First, there is no reason to conduct fracturing in granite.

Vermont is a socialist state who’s enlightened leaders want to lead it boldly into the 19th century.

This reminds me of what a previous governor of Ohio did a number of years ago when companies were leaving the North to take advantage of lower costs in the South. The governor said that any company that left OH must pay the state a sum equal to six months wages. After about six months, the governor and his stupid colleagues couldn’t figure out why new business formations in OH were virtually zero. To their credit, they took the “exit tax” off the books. Idiots...

Any state that keeps re-electing that Communist Bernie Sanders deserves to be in the dark and cold.

A shining example of the marriage of ignorance and political correctness so prevalent in liberal culture today.

In other news, Vermont bans removal of glacial ice from any location within its state boundary lines.

“The Democrat, surrounded at a Statehouse ceremony by environmentalists and Twinfield Union School students who pushed for the ban, said the law may help Vermont set an example for other states.”

The question might be, what example is being set?

Stupidity, insanity, radical environmentalism sans proof, democrat principles on display, surely there is much much more.

Being hanged for financial treason, might bring a stop to such anti-American idiocy, and bringing uneducated school children and mindless environmentalists into positions of policy making at the state level, is worth two hangings.

Vermont, also one of only two states that allow incarcerated felons to vote - the other one is Maine.

Gadzooks! They need lots of fracking up there... 'cause what is evidently in the water up there has made all Vermonters/Vermontites either fracking nuts or fracking communist!

This reminds me of the uber-liberal haven of insanity Takoma Park MD where they years ago voted themselves to be a “nuclear free zone”...when they have none anyway. Also, they allow illegal aliens to vote in their lousy community. Maryland...THE freak state.

If there was a cheap pollution free way to turn dirt into oil, someone would want to ban it.

Pretty funny since frac’ing has been used for water wells for decades. Ooops.

Nobody asks what this cost the taxpayers of VT in terms of time, publishing and disseminating this meaningless waste of time law.

Further proof that waste is acceptable to liberals.

Oh well, too bad for them.

Lost jobs, lost tax revenue for them.

More access to fracking equipment for everyone else.
