The only data point related to the headline after the story was written was that the US set a crude oil production record last week: 10 million bopd -- not seen since 1970. Wow. Less than two months after President Trump "repeals" Obama's fracking regulations -- not passed by Congress -- the US sets a crude oil production record.
The comments, in hindsight, look pretty ridiculous. The interesting thing is that this story had a shelf life of exactly 24 minutes. Not one story since this one was posted that suggested any problems with the rollback on fracking regulations.

20-20 Hindsight
The crews from Montana would have had this problem solved by now but the guys in Washington, DC, and the gal in Puerto Rico, had a better solution: lawyer up.
By the way, if this is the typical terrain in Puerto Rico (see below), it now makes sense why the crews from Montana were called in. This is right up their alley, as they say.
Current estimate when electricity will be restored across the country: May. 2018.

For The Archives: Arctic Ice Is Too Thick
First, this sad story: Canadian sealers come up short. Unable to reach defenseless seals to beat them to death. Why? The ice was too thick for the sealers to reach the seals.
Second, this less sad story: the reason there may have been a decline in polar bears in some loccal areas was because their prime food source had moved. Why? The ice was too thick for the seal pups to get to air holes in the ice to breath. The seals and the bears simply moved to better breathing/hunting grounds. The BBC film crews didn't bother looking for them. The film crews already had their story, and, besides, it was too cold to stay any longer.
