It's So Much Fun Pulling Activist Environmentalists' Chains; The Fourth Nominee For The Geico Rock Award; Effort To Solarize Burleigh County, North Dakota

California today (google -- photograph of oil rigs in California fracking near Bakersfield):

 

The photo above is California today (Kern County). Activist environmentalists are worried about OXY USA's plans to develop the Monterey Shale:

“If we go in the direction of North Dakota, the consequences for California would be devastating,” said Patrick Sullivan, a spokesman for the Center for Biological Diversity, which sued to invalidate government lease sales for drilling. ’’We’re determined to protect water, wildlife and public health.’’  -- from Bloomberg, February 15, 2014.

Contrast the California photo today (above) with the Vern Whitten aerial photos of the Bakken.

California should be so lucky to "go in the direction of North Dakota." Something tells me Patrick Sullivan has never been to North Dakota.

Patrick Sullivan: the fourth nominee for the Geico Rock Award for 2014.

Whenever I see "non-profit organization," I ask to see the equivalent of the "carfax": I want to see the salaries of the top six executives and what family members are on the payroll. A non-profit group wants to solarize Burleigh County. I assume the executives are not working for free.
