Exxon Mobile CEO Sues To Stop Fracking Near His Texas Ranch

[pgardn]

There's very little truck traffic associated with fraccing. That traffic usually lasts 6-8 weeks while the well is being fracced. Once completed, the fracced well is hooked into a pipeline, and the traffic goes away.

.

Total mischaracterization of what is going on in South Texas.

So one well, after drilling, involves very little traffic in it's lifetime...
So what?

Deformation of character


These are the types of people agreeing with you, CC.

[pgardn]

It's the hypocrisy, vy. This is a guy that will tell to anyone that listens that regulating fracking is evil, while he lines up his pockets with it. But then turns around and whines that, among other things, *potential* fracking activity near his property will cause noise nuisances and traffic hazards, and wants the government (town in this case) to step in and stop it.

A number of people don't understand that the whole thing is ho hum if the complaint was filed by a person who was/is NOT heavily involved in fracking industry himself. That's the hypocrisy. We are now for some reason interested in the legal arguments. Well South Texas is full of these kind of legal arguments, so people are totally blind to the hypocrisy. They are stuck in showing us legal prowess.

Thanks for posting to begin with. I find the hypocrisy astounding. The bolded was intended for certain posters who are still jammed in the world of lawsuits.

CC is good people. I might not agree with him, but he ain't no clown.

CC would like to invite them for job enter view.

are you the guy here who runs company that lives as a parasite on the ed up, wasteful, over-complicated, corrupt health care system?

WTF????

uhhh... lets see...I do have all the major hospitals in SA as customers (as well as schools, manufacturing facilities, city, county, privately owned office buildings, military bases etc.) but I don't exactly see myself as a "parasite". I trade expertise and value for dollars in a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship.

Am I supposed to be ashamed about that?

Look at it this way.

If the USA was not being screwed by its wealth-extractive, for-profit health care system, but instead had a hard-core public insurance option with govt run hospitals, clinics, with govt employed medical staff, would your company, and your wealth, exist?

Careful Boots.

Glass houses...

Do you invest any of your money? If so where? Any Mutual Funds Boots? Any money invested that can be traced back to US companies?

[Wild Cobra]

if the complaint was filed by a person who was/is NOT heavily involved in fracking industry himself. That's the hypocrisy. We are now for some reason interested in the legal arguments.

What about the others involved with the lawsuit, who include:

Richard and Krystal Vera
Carlos and Helan Rivero
Monte and Charley Lukov
Brad andf Jane Teel

Are they part of fracking?

Gotta say, actions speak louder than words and CC ain't a bad dude at all.

if they are in the fracking industry, then they are assholes just as is Mr Fracking CEO ing about the fracking industry in his backyard.

[pgardn]

I think they should just slap themselves.

The Cobra has a difficult time with my astonishment at THE CEO IN THE INDUSTRY.

[Wild Cobra]

But these are not oil people. They are people who live in the same neighborhood that are affected, who are also named in the lawsuit as plaintiffs.

[pgardn]

Like they are the only people that are plaintiffs in all of South Texas? This is sad, but not ironic.

The CEO of a company that makes money from the very industry that has penultimately caused his complaint is hypocrisy.
What about this do you not understand?

Are you listening to anything? The area they live in is absolutely beautiful. They bought these places for that reason. I see the lawsuit as perfectly valid.

Boo, you crack me up sometimes. That didn't even make sense.

Again, this has absolutely nothing to do with what I posted.

There are plenty of complaints and valid suits to post.
Why do you think the OP posted this particular suit?

I don't try to read ElNono's mind, but I will assume he got caught between his bias and a biased article.

not sure why you bother. People like Cobra are dumb and want to stay that way.

[Wild Cobra]

Please elaborate then. Teach me.

[ElNono]

Already did. Everybody in this thread, including vy and CC, know exactly what I'm talking about, except apparently you.

For some reason you keep stuck on stupid arguing about the merits of the lawsuit, something we've moved on from about 3 pages ago, because that's not the point.

I'm ok that some posters will agree/disagree with the hypocrisy argument, but for some reason you still haven't figured out that's what we're talking about, and I have better things to do than to pamper you through.

Well, maybe I am blind to what you speak of, so please tell me concisely. Maybe I missed the point because of my bias. Are you going to help, or not?

I hate this reference... by page. This is page 2 for me.
