It Is Great That Colorado Found The Missing People – But did they have to find the missing oil and gas leaks

Fracking is bad. There is no other way to look at it. Future generations will wonder what was wrong with us and there is nothing to say. I mean we are compounding our problems instead of our interests. That is definitely not the way things should go.

6 more people found alive, well after Colo. floods

In remarkable turn, 6 more people found OK after Colorado floods; 1 other presumed dead

 

DENVER (AP) — The final six people who were unaccounted for after massive flooding in Colorado have been found safe and well, authorities said Tuesday, but new spills were reported in water-damaged oilfields.

Only one person remained missing and presumed dead. Eight deaths have been confirmed.

It was a remarkable outcome after a disaster that damaged or destroyed nearly 2,000 homes, washed out hundreds of miles of roads and left many small mountain towns completely cut off.

In the early days of the flooding, more than 1,200 people were listed as unaccounted for, but the list shrank quickly as people checked in after they were evacuated.

Meanwhile, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission said three new spills totaling at least 7,600 gallons had been discovered as flood waters recede. Regulators are now tracking 11 notable leaks totaling at least 34,500 gallons, mostly from storage tanks that toppled or otherwise failed.
