AND...Then add to this the fa...from Joni Lindgren:<br /><br />AND...Then add to this the fact that Colorado has over 4,450 fracking wells and since January of this year, Colorado has had 497 oil spills! Two years ago, do you remember a HUGE fire that decimated a high-end neighborhood? The news attributed it to either arson or to lightning. It was an oil spill! <br /><br />Let's not forget that to frack, it takes a LOT of water for the process! The gas and oil companies and those tapping into the water supply are going to destroy the beauty of that state! Over the past few years,<br /><br />I have seen the reservoirs in the mountains drying up. Thank God last winter dumped a lot of snow on the mountains, but that was only one winter. <br /> <br />It's the corporations who are ruining our country by sucking the life-blood out of every state for their damn greedy profits! I'm sick of the Republicans trying to protect their "liberty" and "freedom!" What garbage! They're convincing everyone that they want their "liberty" to harm the rest of us and the "freedom" to take what they want from people and our land. <br /> <br />I hope the next president is more focused on environmental issues and overturning Citizens United and McCutcheon vs FEC, or we will have MORE and MORE drilling, more earthquakes, more oil spills, more ugly wells on the landscape, and more gasping for breath from the methane coming out of those wells. Our future will be more than bleak! <br />gbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435049339082622611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797875972831999598.post-91778548853161589572014-08-02T09:03:50.335-05:002014-08-02T09:03:50.335-05:00Every American needs to read "Cadillac Desert...Every American needs to read "Cadillac Desert" by Marc Reisner.RIchard Sassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242071188907046535noreply@blogger.com
