Transparency in the IDNR

Too broke to say "no."

 

It's disheartening that our state government is allowing hydraulic fracturing (fracking) on Illinois land. This "money grab" disguised as an effort to lessen America's reliance on foreign oil, IMHO, is a cancer to the air, earth and water -- wherever it is done. I had hoped that Illinois would not get caught up in this mess.

 

You can view our state's oil and gas drilling logs here:

Without some non environmentally destructive magic bullet answer to the world's energy demands things can only get worse as the world's population not only increases but also makes greater energy demands on a per capita basis as well.Energy conservation can help to slow the process;but absent the magic bullet only a halt in population growth can stop it.Don't hold your breath for either happening

The movie, "Promised Land" really exemplifies the Illinois landscape particularly southern Illinois. In an economically deprived area, people are paid handsomely for their mineral rights and promised high paying jobs. Hard to turn down for them but at what price?
