re: End fracking in 5 years.

I own a 1.6 acre plot in a dirt poor small town in the Eagle Ford Shale region of Texas. I don’t live there and haven’t seen it in about 5 years. The town is probably 75% Hispanic with a high poverty rate. When fracking caught up with my area about 5 years ago, I received about a $13,000 signing bonus for a royalty agreement. Over the next year I received about $6000 in royalties. Since then it has dropped to about $200 a month. Everyone in that town has been receiving money for oil royalties. At the peak I couldn’t find anyone I could pay to mow the vacant lot. Everyone was working in the oil fields or driving trucks for the companies serving the oil fields. Do you think the poor Hispanic population there that receives a royalty payment every month, even if it is small by our standards, wants fracking to end? The democrats don’t realize how many people this will affect. It isn’t just people in the oil business, it’s individuals in poor communities. Their businesses depend on the fracking and they directly receive monthly payments.
