What if company is wrong about safety of Price Canyon oil wells?
Anyone ever tell you, “Trust me, I know what I’m doing”?
That’s the point at which you should grab your wallet and look for the exit.
In this case, it is the oil company that owns the Price Canyon oil field. Its experts are telling us they know what’s best by drilling 481 new wells in Price Canyon.
Hello, does anyone need to remind us that this is earthquake country? Oklahoma has experienced a 1,000 percent increase in earthquakes since they started fracking there. Price Canyon, surrounded by clean drinking water aquifers, has faults running through it. Corporations never seem to wonder, “What if we’re wrong?”
I do, and so should you.
