>> “Fifteen years ago I dumped my National Geographic Society membership...” <<

.
I did the same after finding out that they knew that the Chinese feathered fossil was fake even before printing the article.

Union scum!

(and Coors is the beer most often voted the finest world wide)

... water contaminated with oil and chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing spilled from a broken well-head...

I thought the conversation was about contaminating the ground water.

What is your point? Are you against these technological improvements? Do you think accidents don't happen, even when all precautions are taken? Maybe we should go back to horse and buggy!

Did Governor Chickenlooper and his fracking cronies serve themselves up a nice glass of this “water contaminated with oil and chemicals”? No?

Where does this “water contaminated with oil and chemicals”
end up?

It’s not an improvement to gain an energy supply at the expense of poisoning the water supply.

NO SALE

What’s really fun is watching the veins bulge out of a Libertar(D)ian/Useful Idiot’s forehead upon the realization that their wonder brewer’s favorite beverage comes from Halliburton.

I think Coors tasted better before the Canadians invaded Golden.

The claims of “pure Rocky Mountain spring water” were always sort of funny too - given the olfactory stimulation experienced by anyone who’s ridden down Hwy 6 with a wind blowing over the {sewage?} pond near the brewery.

[the solid mining type which by the way requires far more energy to extract than the former]

And a lot more H20 - in places where Whiskey is for drinking, and water is for fightin’ over.

Do you get your water from the sewage treatment plant? :o)

Coors was definitely better before the “light” beer nonsense began.

Some years ago I dumped my NGS membership also. Seems like every article was about global warming and this or that species was going extinct. Never mind that’s not the way the world works. And just I just got tired of the story about the LBGT or whatever assault on this or pole with or without dogs, food , sleds, etc.

Probably...

http://www.cityofgolden.net/government/departments-divisions/water/water-treatment-plant/

...but Mr. Coors didn’t make his commercials standing in front of Area 2.

I like the smell of the brewery, Area 2, not so much.

It’s fun to be driving visitors past the brewery and, when the wind conditions are right, see them scrunch up their nose.

Maybe that conditioned/Pavlovian associative response is why Molson removed the Coors signs that were visible from the Hwy.

True, and that makes it a bit of a logistical nightmare.

I predict that in the first part of 2015 gas prices will be below $2.00 per gallon in most of the country. (I opened up an old computer and this is what loaded up when I went to my browser)
