    Fracking? Goodness no! Injecting millions of tons of highly pressurized water and chemicals into the ground doesn’t have any negative externalities.

      Lol I literally had a professor tell us one time that fracking is perfectly fine, I mean people have been using dynamite for over a century and that’s totally the same thing!

    1. Captioners couldn’t be bothered to spell “Hermleigh” correctly
    2. You know what would make environmentalists feel just so owned? Triggering human-made earthquakes centered about 54 miles away from the massive conventional weapons caches stored at Dyess Air Force Base. God, we would just be so owned if Texaco managed to blow all of the underground jet fuel tanks and anti-aircraft missile sites immediately outside Abilene and just piss thousands of gallons of benzene-laced JP-8 directly into the ground water tables for a century to come, to say nothing of the plume of carcinogenic shit that would be unleashed on the I-20 corridor. So owned.

    Midland is a small city, and many of the residents make their paycheck through the oil industry, directly or indirectly. They’re making enough money that they could probably buy the whole city and relocate the population elsewhere. Look up the Eagle Ford region if you want to learn about fracking closer to more humans.
