• Resumen

  • "The number one concern that's raised with any industrial sand mine, or indeed any non-metallic mine, is that the mine will decrease property values," he said. "That's always the number one issue - but you can't find a study that backs this up and that's quite simply because it doesn't exist." "I think there is a big disconnect with how the communities are actually being impacted, how they feel that fracking and frac sand mining are affecting them," [Joe Kruse] told IM. "Because we have a lot of very human and raw pain that people are experiencing as a result of frac sand mining and fracking." "I think we need to implement at a rapid rate all of the possible alternatives, I don't think there's one alternative fuel that's going to be the silver bullet, I think we're going to have to do a whole bunch of things at the same time," he said. "And I think what's stopping us from doing that are folks who have influence in our government who have a lot of money and with that money are able to sway laws."
