I spotted yet another new fracking tower. This one is about four blocks north of my apartment, and I live in the city. This new well is one of several hundred that have been permitted within city limits. City council and county commission are deaf to our concerns, all they can see is money coming in short term; they are either incapable of or unwilling to see the greater costs for all of us.
