In this country, you can't do that without a drilling permit, because of several concerns:
1. Soil subsidence.
2. The well casing can break, causing migration of oil, gas, and other pollutants to neighboring wells.
3. You over-pumping your well, drawing oil from under neighboring lands.
4. Releases of gas and natural gas liquids into the air.
So now if instead of having to comply with intense drilling regulation about drilling, owing to the rights of other citizens, you are told not to drill at all, this makes our country an authoritarian tyranny?
Can you try offering an argument that passes the giggle test?
- guscost 11y agoYou acknowledge that in NY land owners were previously allowed to obtain a drilling permit after following the proper procedure, and this freedom has been taken away?
- ocschwar 11y agoThe freedom to drill wells both for fossil fuels and for water is regulated for legitimate reasons, and can sometimes be taken away when new concerns arise. (E.g. fracking fluid mishandling incidents, bad well casings, earthquakes, et cetera.) Again, try to explain why this turns our country into an authoritarian hellhole, and try to do it in a fashion that passes the giggle test.
