Happy
Friday the 13th, my friends!
Maybe it's the date, but here is some news from
Wisconsin:
Crawford Co, WI, the subject of the first story, is
located south of La Crosse about an hour near Prairie du Chien. Edie, who is
quoted in the article, is a great friend, leader and ally to all in the
movement. (The Pattison frac sand mining company is the same one that has done
its best to hurt the charming little city of McGregor, Iowa, a Mississippi River
town just across from Crawford Co. Pattison is a greedy, power-hungry, and
spiteful company.)
And it looks like the now-dead $100M St
Charles / Mn Proppant sand plant is going to pop up in Trempealeau Co. Texas
company Hi-Crush wants to spend $80 million on building theirs. The county
won't let them (moratorium), so they're working on getting annexed. That's what
we call "investment for the long haul." Imagine the profits to be made -
$500 Million? $1 Billion? How about $20 Billion? This ain't going away anytime
soon, I'm afraid.
Well, as we're all aware, sometimes it's a step
forward and a step back. We in the movement, though, have momentum -- we have to
realize that. We are having a HUGE effect in all 3 states, no question. (Even
tho sometimes it doesn't seem like it.) So we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves
off, and move forward!
In solidarity,
Jim
