@FreeMarket You want to bring jobs and income back? Change our subsoil geology and costs of local production to be half of what they currently are here, to costs seen in North Dakota and back east. Otherwise, quit pretending the industry is going to thrive here if we could only chase those rascal locals that care about healthy water and good-looking places to live out of the room, and rewrite a few sentences at the Colorado legislature.

since we already had to say good bye to jobs and income and send them to Pensylvania and North Dakota, not to mention our property values, I say please come back! If you drive a car or heat your home without solar panels, then you support drilling too!

Grand Junction, say goodbye to any fresh aquifers you have or decent air. Say goodbye to your farming. Say goodbye to the peaches and wine. This is very scary news for Grand Junction. You need to get out if you can!
