WHEN are the states going to fight back?

Never.

I can't say about the other states, but North Dakota has over a million dollars set aside for just such a fight. We do a fine job here of regulating and developing our own industry, and we damned sure don't need Federal 'help' to do so. They almost have more agencies involved than we have regulators. Our people are efficient and hardworking. Theirs won't know a wellhead from bucket of warm spit.
