Don't Frac in my Backyard

Air Langhi · Feb 24, 2014

You see, while Tillerson believes that the inevitable noise pollution that accompanies the fracking process—not to mention the potential for water contamination and other dangerous side-effects even when it is done safely (and some would strenuously argue that it is not possible to frack safely)— is of no real significance when it affects someone else’s neighborhood, he surely thinks it to be a pretty big deal when someone dares to get involved in fracking in Rex Tillerson’s neighborhood.

So much is this the case that Tillerson—ExxonMobil CEO and proud proponent of fracking as a key to both America’s and his company’s great energy future—has joined a lawsuit seeking to shut down a fracking project near Mr. and Mrs. Tillerson’s Texas ranch.

Why?

Because the water tower being built next to Tillerson’s house that will supply the water to the near-by fracking site, means the arrival of loud trucks, an ugly tower next door, and the general unpleasantness that will interfere with the quality of his life and the real estate value of his sizeable ranch.

Making this even more deliciously enjoyable is the name of the lead plaintiffs in the case.

That would be Mr. and Mrs. Dick Armey…as in former GOP House Majority Leader Dick Armey who is also the former Chairman of FreedomWorks Dick Armey.

FreedomWorks is, of course, the well financed (thanks to the Koch Brothers) Tea Party organization that has been been a vocal and avid proponent of fracking.

Exxon CEO doesn't want and fracking in his backyard. I don't think fracing is really that bad, but this is hilarious.

He's a CEO of an oil company! His word is absolute gospel and infallible!

How dare you judge him? The white rich CEO is the most prejudiced against person in the world! Pathetic lib-pig attempt per the usual.

Brah, why are ya'll all racist????

He could just have Exxon buy the offending company instead.

Another hippie liberal trying to get in the way of the free market.

Shameful
