I attended an EPA hearing on fracking during Bush years and whoa ... talk about eyeopening experience of two completely different groups. Us liberals who were unprepared and the energy folks totally prepared and loud.

90% of the liberal types got up and left out of disgust - I hung in there and was the last person to speak but I knew fracking was here to stay. It has grown by leaps/bounds in CO and Ft. Collins was overruled by courts on their fracking ban vote. Boulder is up next and I suspect since Ft. Collins failed, Boulder will too.
