This "fracking" thing is not going to end well. There is too much evidence that it is screwing things up. How will they fix it? How CAN they fix the screw ups? Mark my words; This is going to end badly for the environment. Very badly.

This is an example of the perfect Republican world. You put out a narrative about an issue like Fracking: It is completely safe, creates millions of jobs, and does no harm to the environment. Obama should be giving the oil and gas companies medals and parades for saving America. If anyone uses facts and science to show differently just have them arrested and silenced. That said, having him arrested brought more eyeballs to the issue than Josh Fox could have dreamed of.

Potable H2O is one of the scarcest resources on Earth. It is essential to human life. We cannot afford to waste or contaminate a single drop.

Water should be treated as an asset that is much more valuable than natural gas. We should err or the side of caution and conservation.

Throwing Josh Fox out is exactly what the Soviets did during the rule of the communist in the USSR. Our nation should be better than that. We can't be better than that until we throw all of the RePugniScums and corporate Democrats out of office.

why wasnt that brietbart fuckhead whats his name arrested for voter fraud? this is simply amazing, in a very bad way. orwell must be spinning

Josh Fox got more publicity than he bargained for. This backfired for the Republicans. If they had just let him film, none of us would ever know about this hearing until his film came out and even then, it would have just been a part of the film.

Even my Republican co-worker didnt like this at all. His take is that it is just a few Republicans that do this. I told him that this goes on much more than he realizes. I think his mind is slowly changing as he see's stuff like this.

Josh Fox? Duhhhh....

Here is a link a full video of the hearing from House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology

some of the tesitmony below:
.......
Thomas E. Doll: State Oil and Gas Supervisor
Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission
From Mr. Doll's statement to the committee yesterday:
" Other possible sources of groundwater contamination in the Pavillion natural gas field remain unstudied."
"IMPORTANCE to WYOMING: Almost 100% of oil and natural gas wells drilled in Wyoming are hydraulic fracture treated to be commercial".
"CONCLUSION: ..EPA dismissed requests to review data before it was publicized and has not addressed concerns with the data ...report outlining five possible solutions to evaluate potential long term solutions for domestic water supply to landowners in the area. The EPA Pavillion Draft Report contains questionable, unverified poor quality data; state agency experts cannot support the EPA’s analysis and conclusions."

Deny, Delay, Discredit. Deceive. We can bring them clean water (if they sign a non-disclosure agreement?)
Yup, the oil companies(GOP) don't want a HiDef video in which Wyoming’s own State Oil and Gas Supervisor is revealed as an oil company lobbyist. That footage might make it into some left-wing movie.
"Wyoming regulators exempt 146 'fracking' chemicals from public disclosure"
http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-reg...
"Wyoming's open records law includes an exemption for trade secrets. Under the state's regulations, companies may request that the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission classify the identity of a chemical used in fracking as a trade secret."

OK, so that tells you where this guy is coming from. There are numerous articles online in which Mr. Doll attacks or dismisses the EPA's findings. Screw the water, give the drillers carte blanc.

Kathleen Sgamma: Vice President of Government & Public Affairs
Western Energy Alliance (rep group for big oil)
From Ms. Sgamma's statement to the committee yesterday:
"HF is vital to the supply of American energy. If we lose the public’s confidence and cannot continue to develop oil and natural gas in the United States because of unfounded rumors and invalid science, America will deprive itself of significant job and economic growth, and will continue to import energy from unfriendly nations."
synopsys: the EPA has an agenda (and we better watch 'em), "we don't need outrageous information in the public arena", "unfounded fears pose a threat to fracking", "we can't lose the public’s confidence".."HF is vital", "unfounded rumors and invalid science is going to fund unfriendly nations",.....wait...WHAT??... the effin tree huggers are funding Iran?

Deny, Delay, Discredit. Deceive. seems pretty clear though: polluted drinking water or Shari'a Law.
Bwahahaha...........
"Hydraulic Fracturing: Safe, Reliable and Vital to the Rockies"

“On the one hand, there was reasoned discussion of the ways that states are conscientiously regulating fracking, and why another layer of federal oversight is not necessary. On the other hand, there were those who wish to submit the procedure to another layer of unnecessary federal oversight. Why bring in the federal government to over-regulate a procedure that has been safely managed by states for over sixty years?” -Kathleen Sgamma
OK, she is pretty clear about her position on this one. (we don't need no stinkin' feds)

Existing in a public place?

Stealing oxygen?

I'm a little perplexed as to what crime was commited.
