It seems that both the steam energy drilling and the natural gas drilling both are causing quite a shake up, but who really is paying attention? From what I can gather, only those citizens who live in close proximity to the drilling and a few scientists even know that drilling is a problem. And in my humble and honest opinion, it is always the people who are financially impacted that seem to care the most. So, who is financially impacted on this drilling issue? The people whose property values are decreasing? The drilling companies? Members of the NFL? Hmmm???
These companies will probably continue drilling without any real concern for those home/property owners, because no one seems to be in charge of regulating the drilling issue. If we really want a shake up, we need to put some outside group in this regulatory position, and then put some teeth to the penalties imposed.
Amen. Now how do we get this done?
