And are the protesters out marching in support of their position today? No likely; it’s 10 degrees and going to -2 tonight.

Nichols and others involved in the protest point out that technology is available to capture emissions from oil field activities such as the venting of methane — a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide.

Methane isn't vented if present in significant amounts, it is flared off--generating CO2. What a bogus precept. But then, the facts need not be applied with these people. In case they hadn't noticed, it's a mite chilly up here this time of year, and a little 'warming' might just be welcome!

Thanks for the ping, saganite. Fortunately, with today's technology, 50 square miles only would be about 25 wells. The vast majority of acreage here is in private hands and we have a record number of rigs running in the state.

Stinking ecowhackos are probably sitting in offices in Southern California. I think they should be required to protest outside on site (and pick up their trash, too!).

Just drop 'em off for the week...

any time between November and March, wear only natural fibers, please.

Maybe then we could all sit down and have a meaningful discussion about 'warming'.

I hope all is well with you and yours. Happy Thanksgiving!

I would like to know how these scumbags heat their homes and cook their food.

With the money they are paid for protesting.
