Bonanza Creek Energy Inc. has agreed to pay nearly $60 million over five years to lease 5,600 acres of oil and gas rights in Colorado's Weld County. The money will help pay for public education in Colorado. Bonanza Creek has been active in the Greater Wattenberg field for over a decade and has drilled more than 250 wells in the region.Something tells me the faux environmentalists will let this one pass. [Based on their past history, maybe I should not assume such.]
This is but one example; there are examples all over the country of Big Oil and little oil financing public education.
