You need to get out ahead on controlling and managing fracking. We cannot risk ruining water and land in Montana for
the oil and gas industry. Don’t forget private property rights, the health of Montana citizens, and the agriculture
economy in Montana. You should be doing heavy‐duty research to learn all the downsides of fracking. We are one of the
last best places in the world. People have a right to know everything about fracking, and a right to fight it to the “death”.
This is outrageous that this method is allowed and you don’t even know the short‐term and long‐term impacts on the
natural resources, health and private property rights. There shouldn’t be any secrets! Don’t be beholding to one industry
at the expense of everything else!
