Wow, ExxonMobil CEO Sues To Block Fracking-Related Project Near His Home (Note: ExxonMobil Is Biggest Natural Gas Producer In US) | CleanTechnica

As ExxonMobil’s CEO, it’s Rex Tillerson’s job to promote the hydraulic fracturing enabling the recent oil and gas boom, and fight regulatory oversight. The oil company is the biggest natural gas producer in the U.S., relying on the controversial drilling technology to extract it.

The exception is when Tillerson’s $5 million property value might be harmed. Tillerson has joined a lawsuit that cites fracking’s consequences in order to block the construction of a 160-foot water tower next to his and his wife’s Texas home.

[Mr. H.]

He joined a lawsuit. *yawn*

And is there anything out there these days that doesn't cite fracking and it's consequences?

Still-born babies, rabies, scabies?

You forgot earthquakes.

Central Oklahoma has seen a massive increase in earthquakes in recent years, leading geological scientists to link the uptick in quakes to oil and gas development in the way of hydraulic fracking.

From 1975 to 2008, the US Geological Survey found that central Oklahoma experienced one to three 3.0-magntitude earthquakes per year, The Nation reported. That number jumped to an average of 40 a year from 2009 to 2013.

You forgot science. And economics.

It's as bad as Teddy Kennedy fighting a wind farm near his compound.

 

[rdean]

Something tells me that if they just fracked by Republicans there wouldn't be a problem.

Funny how a windfarm was okay when it was just an eyesore for us plebs...

Actually, wind farms are loud and if one fails, it can throw debris as big as a car a half mile or more away.



But you knew that.

Yes.

Just be sure to send the checks to him.

I've seen trucks carrying just a single blade.

They are HUGE.
