<Googles "Denton fracking> Oh my!
Denton County residents managed to pass a fracking ban which was subsequently overturned at the state level.
The Denton governments' Municipal Employee Retirement System pension investment portfolio is heavy into energy at all levels.
Ditto for the Texas Retirement System.
And under the state's Rule of Capture,it's hard to have any 'home rule',including the means by which minerals are captured.
It's all legal. Like the rule of law during slavery.
