Sorry Lars- I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you on that. How is it that you know it didn't hurt the wildlife in Texas? Where did you read that? I have several friends in the DEP and I can tell you, everything man does has an environmental impact. Roads and construction affect migratory patterns, breeding patterns, everything. The pollution that a single drilling rig puts out on its own is staggering. Its not a big to-do about nothing at all. Texas is one of the poorest examples of environmental prudence, by the way. I don't think you can really use it as a good example.
