Clovis, New Mexico had a hunch something was amiss.

Too many old men awash in too much anger.

These men couldn’t have cared less about fracking.  Ask why, and they would tell you  they wouldn’t be around to pay the price of all the poisoning.

What mattered right now was the price of gas.

Time bombs of fossil fuels and future generations and didn’t concern them much.  If their grandkids wound up with less unspoiled land than they deserved, that was pretty much the way things had always gone.

Future generations could go to Yosemite if they wanted unspoiled land.

That’s what a few of the old men who hobbled around Clovis, New Mexico had to say.
