Brownback hopes to boost fracking in Kansas

Gov. Sam Brownback, on his way to the Cotton Bowl in Texas this week, stopped in Oklahoma City and met with leaders of two energy companies, SandRidge and Chesapeake, looking to smooth the way for energy companies to do more hydraulic fracturing in Kansas.

Fracking, as the process is commonly called, is spreading fast across the country and allows the extraction of more oil and gas. It is new and home-grown energy and it creates jobs, Brownback Chief of Staff David Kensinger told Wichita’s Pachyderm Club on Friday.

Kensinger said the process is already in use in Harper and other counties and could bring 25,000 new jobs to the state and significantly boost the state economy. The governor will announce more details soon.

“It’s making people a lot of money and creating a lot of jobs elsewhere,” Kensinger said. On other issues, Kensinger said:

Kansas is a mess. After spending loads of time and money to get Boeing of Wichita a fat government contract with the promise of more jobs in Kansas - Boeing is bailing out of Kansas.

I'm guessing Brownbeck is looking to make up for all those lost jobs.

1. why not support wind farms?

Western Kansas is windy and empty.

2. Because that would make too much sense.

And, it would not help out the companies that support Brownbeck.

3. Dateline: Kansas 2016

The extensive wildfires exploded out of control when it was found that the water being used in airdrops was so contaminated with fracking chemicals, it acted as an accellerant once the water component evaporated.

Kansas wells are being ordered shut down and the Governor is asking everyone to pray.

In other news, record profits continue in the oil industry with Exxon/Mobil up .........


Don't come crying to us when your water is fracked.
