Beware the oil and gas industry

Beware the oil and gas industry by Doug Martens, March 28, 2012, Yukon News
Should the Yukon open her arms to the tender wooing of oil and gas? Should the Yukon be open to oil and gas exploration? Here is the question we will not see on a territorial referendum any time soon. And isn’t that a shame? Because if it were to happen, we who move around here and breathe the rarified mountain air and drink the crystal-clear water might have some input into what unfolds around us. May I suggest this is exactly what investors don’t want? Yes, I may. Trouble is the Jed Clampett method of bringing up the oil has become a lot more sophisticated. Not too much is going to happen without a bit of fracking going on.
