I found the clip I posted on msnbc. Watch the oct 31 show then watch the clip I posted. The oct31 show doesn't address housing. The link I posted addresses it well. Stay away til spring to sum it up.

Ya, I like Brian Williams so I set this up for a series record before it started. I'm watching the interview with Tina Fey now.

The kinder, gentler , animated portrayal of fracking was a nice touch as well. " Not to mention statements such as "A little water got out of a few ponds last Spring... only killed a few animals" etc.

More animals were killed this year due to EHD (a disease that kills white tail deer) and the harsh winter than the issues from fracking. Not to say that animals haven't died, but this year most of it's been from natural causes and not the fracking/wells. It's just been a REALLY bad year for the wildlife up here. We got record snowfall, then we had a late winter storm, then we had the flooding, then we had disease. All of those things would have had a massive negative impact on the wildlife up here without the fracking.

I'm very aware of the EHD die off and winterkill. My home is near Glasgow, MT on the Milk River. I also work (reluctantly) in the oil industry in NW North Dakota. I have a front row seat.

And I work for Game & Fish, so I get to read all the reports, field all the calls, and get constant updates from the biologists who work with me.
