Which is why we should START in WY and UT. Then, when King Ritter of Spendthrift sees all the revenue accruing to those states, he’ll get on board
king Ritter has closed drilling for 3 months so the animals will not be disturbed. He is aboard the wrong buss just like when he was denver DA and released 98% of criminal illegals. This “spendthrift” wants to raise taxes $330 million and wants $100 per vehicle for tax.
The 'animals' faux-argument doesn't work so well in shale country. It's halfway (or more) a moonscape to start, and most animals I saw in the shales, to my observation in 1978, were quite smart enough to be just passing through. It is NOT a nice area in which to live. For one thing, unless the animal in question has the digestive tract of a billygoat, food is a major problem.
Those inconvenient little facts, of course, won't stop the enviromarxists from repeating their 'animals' argument every hour on the hour.
