FWCanDo predicted three years ago that urban gas drilling would push Fort Worth even FURTHER out of compliance with federal air quality standards. The report below from Wyoming, illustrates what happens to air quality when gas drilling is out of control.

After a year of intense drilling in the Barnett Shale region and the summer ozone season nearly upon us, you might want to invest in a gas mask and a geiger counter.

Thanks for nothing, Mayor Moncrief.
