BOHICA... Oil and Gas Ban, despite the voters saying no in Nov...

[DDT951]

I was at the capital today.

We were informed it will be pushed through tomorrow or Wednesday.

[Grant H.]

Unfortunately, not surprised...

As I mentioned, all of the producers that I work with have been expecting something along these lines since the outcome of the election. None of us thought it would take very long, and sure enough... Here we go...

Be curious how this plays out against already defined limits by the CO State Supreme Court.




If anyone forgets how some of this got rolling.
Look no further than the .guv him (or)herself . Polis Never had an issue with O&G, till..................they erected a rig in view of his home.
THEN...............it was the evil O&G corps who were destroying the environment. Up till then, not an issue with that guy/gal.

Part of the issue why this (and gun control) are now a winning argument for DEMs is that the parties right now are more split on Urban / Rural lines than anything else. The DEMs have become an urban party.

They have the votes Denver/Boulder/Burbs to get this done. Basically, the burbs don't want drilling in near them. Having drilling near the burbs is not a winning position for oil and gas. NIMBY is at play.

I give a lot of credit to Oil and Gas for their current predicament. When the burbs didnt want them there, o&G fought to be near the burbs. And when O&G forcibly brings a rural industry to the door steps of the burbs, it is clear O&G wont have the votes to stop new laws.

NIMBY is a strong motivator. Right or wrong NIMBY is how many people react.

If liberals don't like oil & gas, then stop using it.

Stop using it in any shape form or fashion. Don't use it to charge your electric car. Don't use it to power or heat your home. Don't use any of the plastics or synthetic fibers. Don't live in a home that uses any of it for materials. Don't use any agricultural products where O&G had any part in making it available for consumption. Don't use any of its products or byproducts used in your healthcare. Don't buy anything where O&G had any part of the process for obtaining materials, fabrication, or delivery to you.

After all, if there was no demand or viable alternatives, there would be no need for it.

In the meantime, let's see if you die first from exposure or starvation.

...or boredom?

[Gman]

Hard to be bored when you're foraging for food.

[ChickNorris]

Um, throwing a temper tantrum isnt 'foraging'

& I digress.

I've made these points before.

We make the HUGE assumption that the typical liberal is even aware that everything they use is related in some way to fossil fuels. They aren't aware, they have no concept of the future, all they know is how they feel at this point in time.

Likewise. When you point this out, the playbook response is. You're a denier and ignorant of the facts.

The vegans are as bad. Umm you do realize those sandals (leather) are made from an animals hide?
But they're cruelty free. Really? lets kill your friend and skin them. Tell me how cruelty free that is. .................... crickets
