Colorado’s Anti-Fracking Crackup
Michelle Malkin August 30, 2016
If a pair of extreme green ballot measures fall in the Rocky
Mountains and no one in the liberal media is paying attention, does the
collapse make a sound?
This week, two anti-fracking initiatives backed by deep-pocketed environmental lobbying heavyweights, such as the Sierra Club and Greenpeace, failed to gather enough signatures. The more draconian of the efforts, Initiative 78, would have imposed a mandatory 2,500-foot setback around all oil and gas operations–essentially halting drilling in upward of 95 percent of Colorado’s energy-rich land area.
These drastic attempts to sabotage the oil and gas industry didn’t just miss by inches. They missed by a mile high and wide.
