What the heck ping, but in the idiom of a grunt.

The votes for the fracking ban came mainly from the wealthy, mostly white Democratic coastal districts—San Francisco, Santa Monica and Malibu.

In short, the limousine liberals with their holier than thou (if that's the right phrase to use!) attitude. Sorry, with the high price of gasoline here in California, anything that will send the price higher won't cut it with voters. Does anyone remember the movie Promised Land starring Matt Damon, which proved not only to be a box-office failure but was rightfully denounced for its innumerable inaccuracies?

....about one-third of the active wells now use this innovative drilling process that uses chemicals, sand and water to crack shale rock.

What are the chemicals used and are the same chemicals used at every frack site?

I'm a 'drill baby drill' kinda guy, just curious.

Good news for California. This was sanity prevailing in the form of raw self interest, which is about as close to enlightened as Democrats get. I will say that a part of me (probably the bad part) wouldn’t have minded seeing Cali pass the ban thereby hastening its slide into liberal dystopia. Now they’ll have a thriving energy sector propping things up.

I guess the people who profit from the fracking can buy a Democrat.

Follow the money, folks!

I live in the Marcellus Shale.

Our school district just cut taxes in half thanks to revenues from hydrocarbon extraction. It is a conservatively run district, so, they didn’t just “spend” the increased revenues....not something you see in the more liberally controlled school districts.

Even liberals have a hard time turning down money like that!
