These are the Clean Resources boys waiting to speak at the Denton task force meeting.
Update: Oh my Gah! The Denton task force is a train wreck that is unbearable to watch. I’m not a technical expert but I knew more than they did. At least Vicki tries to gather enough information to present some good ideas.
Here is how the Denton task force works:
This week’s agenda: Water Issues
- Much discussion centering around what is unknown
- A tiny pinch of truth, grand speculation and liberal sprinkling of totally made up stuff.
- Vote against common sense proposals like exploring the feasibility of well bore integrity requirements
- Vote for a totally meaningless requirement that has “whenever feasible” as part of the language (Hint: with the Big Gas Mafia it is NEVER, EVER feasible.)
- Lots of getting the science wrong
And all the decisions are final and can never be visited again.
Next week’s agenda: What difference does it make?
Here is how the Denton task force should work:
This week’s agenda: Water Issues
- List what is known
- List what is unknown
- List experts needed for consultation
- Set up timeline for expert presentations and gathering required information
Don’t vote on anything or make any decisions until you have the information. Duh!
And everybody on the task force looks at Ed Ireland. …like he is some kind of technical expert.”Oh, he’s so full of manure, that man! We could lay him in the dirt and grow another one just like him.” Ruby, from Cold Mountain.
P.S. One of the Clean Resources boys said he was too scared to talk because he was afraid to give his address. He also had the police escort him out. <-snicker-> No clue what that was all about.
P.P.S Ed Ireland called the Texas Railroad Commission to see if there were any cases of water contamination in Denton. I know you will find this hard to believe, Dear Readers, but the TRC said there has never been any contaminated water from drilling or fracking in Denton. Well, I guess if you don’t count all those non disclosure agreements and the two pending lawsuits over water contamination and the several people who have contacted me about it, then, yeah, Ed’s right.
This is in Denton
So is this

They are clearly doing some homework there. They look like landmen-in-training. Do they own property or even live near drilling sites in Denton?? Cute boys. Very cute! xoxo
I guess if you’re into pudgy, pasty white guys that are on the dull side…

Sorry to hear the boys got scared. That’s a shame.
Nope they all live in Fort Worth but if you work at Hooters they might stop by and see you on their way home. I think they rode with Eddie!
There was not an earthquake tonight at the Denton Task Force meeting but there was a hurricane named Kathy Martin and she blew the task force’s unscientific facts out of the water.
“P.S. One of the Clean Resources boys said he was too scared to talk because he was afraid to give his address. He also had the police escort him out.
Maybe he thought you were a stocker when you took his picture or maybe he grew a conscience about perpetuating lies.
Hopefully, the young man who left didn’t feel intimidated by citizens speaking up but did hear something that made him realize that he didn’t belong there. Sounds as if he could have been afraid of upsetting the powerful industry reps since he left without speaking and requested a police escort. It also could be that he just wanted to get to Hooters first.
