Dear Fort Collins Mayor and City Council,
I am disheartened your Council would consider a "ban fracking" ballot measure on such an
essential technology in Colorado.
It is most disappointing to know that you are discussing this ban because of the great
influence from well -funded environmental groups. A ban on the most critical technology
for energy development will only please a small group of people and is not in the best
interest of the majority of citizens, citizens who wholeheartedly support energy
development in Colorado. It is also disappointing you would consider this ballot measure
when Longmont already tried to do this and was subsequently sued by the Attorney
General and the Governor.
We don't want or need these legal challenges, especially to suffice the agenda of out of state
activists who work tirelessly to push their agenda and stop the industry. (The same
industry that funds our state and county coffers and ensures economic sustainability.) As
leaders of our community it is your duty to rise above the environmental campaigns and
dismiss this ballot measure.
Regards,
