These two excerpts say all we need to know about the enviral nazis and their intentions to keep us energy dependent on Opecker Oil.
A report by the fedeal Energy Information Administration on the potential for gas production here and elsewhere in the Rocky Mountain region refers to the area as a possible "Persian Gulf for natural gas," noting its resources "are more that adequate to meet the expected increase in (U.S.) demand."
That is the good news, now for the Enviral Nazis Slant, which is bad news for Americans:
Conservationists say many of the 8,000 producing wells here have already scarred the terrain, lowered the water table and changed the character of the land. They charge the water's salt content eventually impairs or destroys the land's already limited ability to support agriculture. And they fear that the new roads and water disposal required to more than quintuple the number of producing wells to a planned 51,000 will compound the damage."
More data re the link between the Enviral Nazis and their buddies the Opecker Princes. Opec does not want anything to decrease our dependence on Opecker Oil, be it natural gas or this gas. So their buddies, the Enviral Nazis will fight this on every front.
I am wondering if there is financial backing to the environmentalist wackos from out peaceful friends in the middle east.
Good points. As I stated, it makes no difference where exploration is done, they fight us tooth and toenail.
In northern Michigan since 1987 we have drilled approximately 8,000 shallow Antrim Shale wells, from Traverse City to Alpena. The gas from those wells will supply Detroit with enough gas for at least ten more years.
Due to Enviro lawsuits, the DNR passed policies that have increaed the cost of drilling those wells from around $150,000 to almost $250,000. At least half of that increase is directly due to the Enviros.
In the past I have driven reluctant landowners from TVC to Alpena and pointed out that can't see more than 10 wells while driving through the heart of the fields. Out of hundreds of people contacted. I have only had two turn me down.
