Texas oil town makes history as residents say no to fracking

The Texas town where America’s oil and natural gas boom began has voted to ban fracking, in a stunning rebuke to the industry.

Denton, a college town on the edge of the Barnett Shale, voted by 59% to ban fracking inside the city limits, a first for any locality in Texas.

Organisers said they hoped it would give a boost to anti-fracking activists in other states. More than 15 million Americans now live within a mile of an oil or ....

“It should send a signal to industry that if the people in Texas – where fracking was invented – can’t live with it, nobody can,” said Sharon Wilson, the Texas organiser for EarthWorks, who lives in Denton.

An energy group on Wednesday asked for an immediate injunction to keep the ban from being enforced. Tom Phillips, an attorney for the Texas Oil and Gas association, told the Associated Press the courts must “give a prompt and authoritative answer” on whether the ban violates the Texas state constitution.

Athens in Ohio and San Benito and Mendocino counties in California also voted to ban fracking on Tuesday. Similar measures were defeated in Gates Mills, Kent and Youngstown, Ohio, as well as Santa Barbara, California.

Tara, I'm in Denton. And now were being sued for the ban. Interestingly, in the same week our city legalized the sale of liquor, as Governor Perry was replaced by satan, I mean Abbott. Also worth noting, the electromagnetic poles *pic below, being built around the nation have been being thrown up around Denton at mind-boggling speeds. 

Hmm... what is going on with these electromagnetic poles? Forgive me because I don't know much about them. What is their purpose?

Shit if I know. But Im certain it's evil. Probably mind control. You should the shit theyre putting up in Denton. They actually attempted to hide one of larger ones by painting it brown and attaching humongous fake branches on it, if you can believe.

Edit* This is an interesting piece that I believe to be heavily tied into them.
