Middleton, Idaho might not have been full of Rhodes Scholars. But it knew a thing or two about greed.
They all knew what the oil companies were up to, setting off thousands of explosions a mile down, busting up slabs of shale and spiraling poisons through the land.
After this massive hydraulic fracking, they sent their oil overseas for a tidy profit instead of keeping it at home and keeping prices down.
Middleton, Idaho didn’t buy the fracking story or the myth of America’s energy independence.
