NIMBY

The CEO of ExxonMobil, one of the oil giants behind fracking, has joined a lawsuit that challenges the construction of a water tower connected to hydraulic fracturing operations near his Texas home, given that it will cause unwanted noise and traffic associated with trucking water from the 160-foot tower to the drilling site and may reduce the value of his $5 million property.
Don't you really hope he gets told where to stick his lawsuit.

ha ha ha,

i was driving thru that region of texas this weekend and saw one of those towers.

there is a house about every 25 miles (so who will be bothered), and i must have passed 50 semi-trucks on back roads (too late, the roads are already a disaster).
