Do you think that the communities that impose water restrictions on us peasants during this drought will restrict the industry? Doubtful, we will all suffer while they suck up all our drinking water.
The difference is, you using water doesn't line the politicians pocketbooks with campaign contributions by industry special interests.
They drink our milkshake, they drink it up!
FRACKING SUCKS
Come and watch fracking in action at Pleasant Ridge at I-20 going on now. Leave kids at home and bring a mask!! if you don’t like the fumes in your house and in your neighborhood, remember which city council members got us into the mess we are in now. Their names will suck for years to come!
