In a weird new tactic, fracking apologists are pitching the joys of fracking to sportsmen - hunters, fisherman, and (?) birders (?!&). Right. Couple of three problems with that: 1. Most leases prohibit the use of firearms near infrastructure, since hitting a high pressure gathering system with a boat-tail 30-06 round might offer more excitement than most hunters bargain for. So bow hunting only, gents. 2. Methane is a sure-fire way to kill fish. Upside: having a lot of gas wells near trout streams will be cheaper than dynamiting them to death. 3. Bird watching ? Really ? How to gas a king fisher ? Birding for “newly endangered species ?” http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/2012/03/20/gas-industry-pitches-hydrofracking-to-sportsmen/ Gas Industry Pitches Hydrofracking To Sportsmen Posted by: Jon Campbell - Posted in Uncategorized on Mar 20, 2012 […]
