Exxon CEO Profits Huge As America's Largest Natural Gas Producer-But Frack In His Own Backyard And He Sues! - Forbes

Exxon CEO Joins Suit Citing Fracking Concerns - WSJ.com

The hypocrisy is just so tantalizing, lol

Now granted, it seems that the main issue is a water tower being built in their area that would be 'unsightly' and the noise traffic dealing with truckers using the water to do the fracking. But still, Mr. Tillerson promotes fracking, in which these towers are put in people backyards and create the loud noise associated with the fracking process, yet its bad when it hits close to home. LOL

Well at least he's honest, also admits to global warming although he thinks there is an engineering solution

NEW YORK, June 27 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson said on Wednesday
that efforts to address climate change should focus on engineering methods to
adapt to shifting weather patterns and rising sea levels rather than trying to
eliminate use of fossil fuels.

I'm still amazed that people will live anywhere NEAR that stuff. No way in hell do I trust it. And I'll never budge on my suspicion that there's gonna be one hell of a price to pay someday in the not so distant future because of it.

Not sure where the hypocracy is.

I'm all for putting people in prison, dont want one of those in my back yard.

I have no problem with people who live in projects, dont want them in my back yard either.

Generally prisons don't go in back yards, fracking is all over the place and yes many homeowners and neighboring farms are impacted and that does not even address the other issues.

Gee, I wonder why he would be against living near that kind of practice. I say as soon as he is willing to live near it is when fracking should be done near anyone else. I guess he doesn't like having flammable water.

The flammable water was already proven to be a hoax.

Fracking towers are in many areas that and they do impact residents.

There are plenty of prisons in people's backyards in this country. Ask the people in Florence, Arizona. Or Colorado City, Tx. How about Coldwater, Mi.

Tip of the iceberg.
