16. Farmers needs to stop selling water to the frackers. That's the problem.

Farmers should be banned from selling water to oil & gas companies, and tell the oil & gas industry to import water from the ocean, and the expel it up their rear end.

My governor is an idiot, and a Democrat. We call him Frackenlooper for a reason.

I'm going to write a letter telling him to put the fracked water in his beer and try SELLING that to the public.

John Hickenlooper owns and operates the Wynkoop Brewery Company - right now in a blind trust while he's a governor

If the farmers need money, we can put aside major bucks to help subsidize their flagging crops as long as they refuse to sell their water to the frackers.

One of the Colorado's rep's vacation home was fracked - and he got PISSED and opened an investigation - found out the well was an illegal one and had it shut down, but is looking for repartitions, but I am hoping Polis will learn this lesson and introduce a bill banning fracking for good.

Exactly. It's not just that the water is used. It is turned into toxic waste. SunSeeker Sep 2013 #11

Sounds too pretty. Boil em by fracturing rock with gallons of toxic chemicals and then pump that Overseas Sep 2013 #19
That's fracking. Tar sand extraction is a lot worse. pscot Sep 2013 #20
