A Must Read Account of Fracking Colorado
One activist mother from Erie told me that the COGCC’s environmental exceptions for technologically challenged drillers is like arguing that a person who flunks out of medical school should still be allowed to perform brain surgery because that was his expectation and his monetary well being depends on it. Clearly, public health does not lead the list of governmental concerns at fracking discussions.

This article is highly informative. It is also heartbreaking. Colorado is my home, I was born here. This article brought me to tears.
