68,000 Jobs Lost In Colorado If Fracking Is Banned?

Something the Dog Said wrote: Really Fred? still being a tool? The study stated that UP to 68000 jobs MIGHT be lost if Colorado banned ALL hydraulic fracturing which no one has proposed. Instead, ballot initiatives have been proposed that would allow local municipalities the right to enforce zoning regulations against oil and gas producers within their jurisdictions, such as they are able to do against other industrial uses. How many jobs would be lost if that happens? None.

Why are oil and gas producers given a free pass over local zoning regulations which no other industry has, why is hydraulic fracturing exempt from the Clean Water Act, which other industries are not, why do the oil and gas producers get a deduction of ad valorem taxes which no other industry gets which results in a tax break of over $200 million PER YEAR? Why are the tax rates on oil and gas production 1/3 the rate of our neighboring states of Wyoming and New Mexico? Higher tax rates there have certainly no slowed the drilling activity there.

How do you know if no jobs would be lost if fracking was banned in in certain jurisdictions?
And how do you know no one has proposed shutting down all fracking in Colorado? There are some radical enviromentalists out there.

So you admit that you have no facts in regard to fracking in Colorado and the inability of local municipalities to enforce their zoning regulations? You have no opinion as to the enormous tax breaks given to oil and gas producers in Colorado that no other industry receives? or the exemption from the Clean Water Act that hydraulic fracturing received?

Dog,
Your Colorado Democrats who run the state must have sold you out if Wyoming, a Red State demands more from their oil and gas producers than Hickenlooper and the Democratic statehouse.
Maybe our legislature should have been more concerned with drilling than limiting magazine sizes.

Im suprised that Otis/Blazer and Fred are not bringing up spelling errors in your posts to talk about...Good thing you dotted every I and crossed every T there....Or thats all we'd be talkin about

Your ignorance of fracking is showing again. Do you really think they drill for natural gas at the same depths as water?

Fred... your original headline "68,000 Jobs Lost In Colorado" was a lie... period. Why don't you admit it and stop arguing.

That is what the Denver Post said.

Gee, Fred....More unsubstantiated drivel from the source-free, fact-free echo-chamber...

At least you're consistent... (a source-free liar).

Insert standard: "They did it too" response here: ______

I noticed that Dog still doesn't have an answer as to why her Governor and legislature let Big Oil run Colorado.

Sucks when the enviro party doesn't care about clean water and air for our children.

I notice that you STILL haven't got a link or a source that proves anything you say...And that still makes you a liar.

Sucks that you've been busted so often, and caught in so many lies and exaggerations that you have zero credibility.

Like I care about your opinion. (Stealing your own quotes.)
Right there in the Denver Post in black and white.
