   exaggerations…..total exaggerations. Left to the oil and gas drilling companies..they would just as soon run amuck and having worked for a while out amongst the drillers and related support companies….I'm telling you!! There needs to be stiffer regulations to force said companies into more stringent guidelines for the protection of the environment and property owners. And what about all that poaching that rig workers and support company workers are doing??!!! I know!! I've talked to a number of DOW wardens…and it's getting worse as the number of workers increases and oil/gas rigs pop up even further into the wild habitat! You've come too late Mr. Germond to argue your point of view. The oil and gas developers aren't about to hightail it out of Colorado. And further…it's the oil/gas speculators that appear to be driving this idiotic and economic destructive price increases. Not the Oil and Gas Commission!! If that was the case…with all the gas being produced in Colorado alone..instead of being shipped off to Detroit, Michigan or elsewhere in that general direction…gas prices would not be heading sky high in our home state!! Speculator's will screw things up so drastically..and yet they are required to come up with only 4% of the selling price of these commodities. 4%!!!! And yet..they can alter yours and my life style by their incisive greed. So…get off the Oil and Gas Commision Mr. Germond…your job is safe or the jobs of your friends. It's a bluff game by the likes of Encana…Nabors…Williams, etc. Have you seen how much money Williams as made these last 3 to 4 years??!!! they ain't goin nowheres…they love money and money is what they are raking in by the millions!!

   regulatons I can believe in. You cannot let the gas and oil companies go wild. look around rifle, see all that mess right next to the interstate? that was from fifeteen to just a few years ago when the state and blm started putting tougher regulations on the companies. Williams built a 20 million dollar tunnal for fifeteen wells. I know I'm in the industry right now but at the same time shell and encana have already scaled back on exploration on speculation of what the east slope will demand of them. SO it has already affected jobs. Let them do their exploration with strict guidelines on polution and even stricter guidelines and regulatons on reclamation when the well has produced its usable supply of oil or gas. Think they can't do it? Look at trapper mine. A well site is much smaller than that.
