My sign read "Breathe Easier with Vapor Recovery Systems". Nothing political there just wholesome concern for what is happening in Arlington with the rapid growth of URBAN industry in drilling for natural gas so close to ...people! Now our Cowboy Stadium could actually get a well less than 3,000 feet from it's doors. This is risky business. At least Ft Worth is spending half a million dollars to see if their air is fouled. The EPA is taking a couple of years to find out if hydraulic fracturing contaminates the ground water. I'm afraid we don't have two years to wait. Ignorance is recklessness. We do not even have Vapor Recovery Systems in our ordinance-our cars need emission controls-why not this industry?...ooh cutting corners $$ is what the oil and gas industry is now known for.
