I am certain the earlier number is the more accurate one.
In any event, we need to develop it and see.
The government hates hydrocarbons. I think this is PsyOps to discourage and perhaps codify anti-fracking data. Of course there are challenges; of course the bright minds in industry will figure out solutions. And of course O and the Thug will get their pants in a bunch.
Governor Moonbeam - however hard this is to believe - supports fracking and has shot down a number of anti- bills in Sacto. He knows it will bring money to the state. My husband’s a geologist and is up-to-date on the politics in this, and has been pleasantly surprised. The anti-frackers will not go down without a fight.
I am certain it is not. My opinion is based upon the relatively poor production rates from the private companies drilling the holes for the last few years.
Is your certain based on any data? Or just wishful thinking and distrust?
