Since the Examiner is owned by Anschutz I thought the article would be just another apology for big oil like the terrible TV commercials. And probably another mocking slam at the people in Erie, Boulder, Longmont and northern CO who have fought so hard and long to stop fracking. But I was surprised that this reporter had done some in-depth research and covered the arguments well, unlike the Denver Post.

We can only hope that Hickenlooper, Polis and Bennet will realize that the people who elected them have also done their homework when it comes to fracking and are not going to be blown away by the millions being spent by the wealthiest corporations in the nation.
