So the media will continue their hysteria and Obozo’s administration will, no doubt, order a halt to it because — that’s what liberals do.
Here we go again. Obama and his liberal goons will be throwing “gasoline” on the francking fire....nothing new here folks. Move along.
I'm over these morons, who sit near me, work half days, talk politics most of that time, conduct themselves unprofessionally while they're at it. I get more done in a half an hour than the lot of them do in a day. Useful idiots.
The nuts have been attacking this process here in Arkansas. They pushed hard to open up for drilling, took the gas company cash, and now are turning on those companies and beating them over the heads. It’s nuts.
Oil has been found in that part of Wyoming in seeps and as close to the surface as 300 feet since 1832 when fur trappers discovered Indians using it.

One of the chief compounds used in fracking is present in any aquifer: water.
I was born and raised in the heart of, what is now known as, the Marcellus Shale belt of PA.
They have been drilling and fracking gas wells there, including several on our family farm, since I can remember. To my knowledge and to the knowledge of family members who still live in the area, no one has died or been stricken ill because drillers fracked a gas well.
What they have noticed in the area is a substantial boost in economic activity in the countless small towns and villages from out of state drillers swarming over the area requiring rooms and meals for their workers. Gas, oil, tires and repairs to vehicles, and everything else crew members might require, many being hundreds of miles from home for weeks at a time.
I read that the EPA test wells were drilled down into the oil-producing levels. If true, this becomes a criminal matter.
