For instance the Crawford Town Council is concerned that the town’s spring and water supply will be contaminated. However, according to several reputable petroleum geologists, there is almost a zero chance that any wells would ever be drilled on the flanks of Landsend Mountain. In addition the stratigraphic section that would be penetrated by any wells in the Crawford area does not lend itself to any unconventional resource which might need fracking in order to produce oil and/or gas.

"“It would be absolutely devastating to our food supply. ... It’s a parasite that comes in and sucks life off of the land and leaves disaster in its wake,” she said. “Along with the obvious problem of mucking up the water, we are concerned about air and noise and light pollution....”

Just say YES to environmentally sound and responsible oil and gas leasing and drilling in all areas of Colorado. If you are a nay-sayer, maybe educating yourself on all aspects of the industry would be a responsible thing to do before attempting to whip up mass hysteria.
