ExxonMobile CEO sues to keep fracking away from backyard


Fancy a side of irony with your corporate hypocrisy? Last night on MSNBC, Nation Editor-at-Large Chris Hayes profiled ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, a vocal proponent of hydraulic fracking, who is suing to prevent the construction of a water tower near his eighty-three-acre, $5 million horse ranch in Bartonville, Texas. The purpose of the tower? Storing water for fracking. Tillerson and his super-wealthy neighbors are concerned, the lawsuit states, that the fracking tower might “devalue their properties and adversely impact the rural lifestyle they sought to enjoy.” As Hayes put it, “Rex Tillerson is leading the fracking revolution, just not in his backyard.”

1. Sounds like the perfect place.

As a matter of fact. I think every executive and lobbyist pushing for fracking should be required to have some form of in their backyard requirement. Just so they can personally answer to friends and neighbor's, instead of blowing off nameless faceless.

2. Remind where H. Clinton stands on the issue of fracking. nm
