Will wonders never cease?
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram actually printed a pointed and insightful slam at the natural gas industry’s attempts to squelch and manipulate air studies.
Studies in other cities are showing an alarming amount of poisons being released into the air near its drill sites. Fort Worth, led by oil and gas millionaire Mayor Mike Moncrief, put together a committee that appears to be designed to obscure rather than find the truth.
Editorial Director Mike Norman – we salute you!
I guess the Weekly can step aside now.
Have you not been to the Fort Worth Natural History Museum? There is a huge exhibit with an interactive “4-D” theater explaining the greatness that is drilling and how the drilling companies are only helping the state and its communities. It even has little models of towns and some big drilling trucks, eye candy stuff that would catch kids attention. Its a pretty big and expensive looking part of the museum now. Gee, I wonder who put up the money for this piece of propaganda? Oh, and no where in this exhibit was there any info on the possible harmfull effects of drilling. Gotta love it!! education at its finest!
