I scrolled to the top, and I saw his “RANGER” chapeau. I read a little of what he had to say on energy policy.
I hereby nickname him “CAP and TIRADE.” Love that cap.
Reminds me of climbing a 30′ telephone pole back in ’79, walking across another telephone pole to a third pole, negotiating an obstacle in the middle.
It would have been scary, if I wasn’t nearly comatose after 6 or 7 weeks without sleep.

The fracking fluid issue really concerns me. There’s just too much not known about the enviromental impacts of this stuff, so it certainly warrants the EPA study. The BP blowout is proof that despite energy industry assurances that the worst possible scenario can’t happen, it can and does happen.
This issue reminds me of the MTBE additive that was put in gasoline after lead was removed, but decades later it was found the chemical was getting into the groundwater from leaking tanks with serious health ramifications, including cancer. MTBE is no longer used, discontinued in 2006.
I would hope fracking is safe, because I support the increased production and use of natural gas as a cleaner carbon “bridge” fuel as renewables take over a bigger energy market share. But not at the expense of long term environmental damage and health concerns.
It has been amazing to watch the very sensible regulations that both then environmental community and the industry worked together on be demonized during this election. I feel that we’ve been hearing more about the actual state of the industry lately – and how the o&g rules have been protecting our communities. That’s a good thing. Now we need to amplify those voices.
It’s lovely that Hickenlooper has come back on the reservation somewhat, but really.
That’s just so wrong. Left wing enviro radicals led by Bill Ritter ran the O&G industry out of the state on a rail. That caused the worst depression since the Panic of 1837 — also triggered by a tax and spend socialist Democrat, Andrew Jackson.
Like Maes said, we desperately need to get down on our knees and beg forgiveness from the oil and gas industry and lure them back.
The only problem is that there are so many drilling rigs cramming this state that it’s hard to find a clearing big enough to allow us to get down on our knees. But be patient, we’re working on that.
Since I’m in construction, I have knee pads that I have affectionately nicknamed my “Monicas”. Great for interior trim carpentry , but would work equally as well for groveling and begging the O & G industry for forgiveness. In fact, the groveling time could be greatly increased, undoubtedly resulting in an immediate increase in O & G production.
And at only $24.95 at Home Depot, I bet they’re cheaper than a barrel of fracking fluid.
a campaign expense.
