Yeah, as a matter of fact I live less than half a mile from the well sites. We went to some bullcrap meeting a week ago and its not good.
A little history so people can understand the vast stupidity of our civic leaders. The city allowed drilling inside the city limits for oil and a well blew out a few years back. They had to evacuate a bunch of people. Less than a year later they allowed the same incompetent oil company to drill another well inside city limits. You cannot combat civic stupidity on a scale that large. This particular brine well site has been in operation for 40 years yet it was almost unknown to the people. I certainly did not know about it when I bought my house. So in the meeting the city says "lets not play the blame game, we need to find a solution" They talk about wanting to get some funding on the federal level. I think to myself, why should the rest of the state or country have to carry the burden of bailing out this city for the stupid choices that our city fathers have made? I could go on for hours, suffice it to say that my house is next to worthless and while their "projected" seismographic cavern does not reach my house, I have heard rumors that it passes my house by a large margin.
