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

What the Denver Post says, and what YOU say it says are, as usual, two different things...

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.

Where's the link to what you read Fred?

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.

Why would the CU study look at a total fracking ban in Colorado if it wasn't possible?

Are you still here?

From the actual article (not sure why I care to clear this up):

Worst-case scenario study: Frack ban could cost 68,000 Colorado jobs


"It is a worst-case scenario," Metro Denver EDC chief Tom Clark said. "We wanted the public to understand the size of the oil and gas in Colorado."

Since 95 percent of the wells in Colorado are fracked, the study assumes that drilling activity would be reduced 95 percent.

Listen "guys" we don't need another jobs program that ruins the world, we already got one of those, its call the Military Industrial complex, so I don't care if we lose 68 million jobs like Fred says, we can put those 68 trillion people to work building, improving and creating things we actually need like roads, bridges, the grid, healthcare, education, high speed internet, solar power, etc etc etc


Clean fresh Water for everyone forever is a lot more important than 10 years of fossils fuels, and billions of dollars in profits a few people

Say NO to fracking and don't buy all the company propaganda being put out on Tv and Radio ads

Because the oil and gas tools that paid for the study set the parameters of the study in order to create a scare even though there are not any bans contemplated only initiatives that would allow local communities to set and enforce industrial zoning regulations that the oil and gas producers would not be exempted from.
"The analysis was conducted on behalf of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp., Denver South Economic Development Partnership and the Common Sense Policy Roundtable, a free-enterprise think tank in Highlands Ranch."

Dog, don't you hate it when those oil baron Koch brothers buy your party? #DemocratsForFracking #DemsForOilCompanyTaxBreaks
#DemsAgainstCleanWater

Yep, even in blue state Colorado under one Dem party rule in the legislature, your party is protecting the oil companies.

And your source is?
