FWCanDo!: Emissions from gas drilling operations in the north Texas region are TWICE the ozone forming pollution as ALL the cars in a 9-county area

From an email:

"Prof. Al Armendariz dropped a bomb in Fort Worth last night. He is an air quality expert and a professor at Southern Methodist University.

He has been researching the effects of gas drilling in the Barnett Shale.

Last night he announced that:

The combined air pollution from gas drilling in the Fort Worth area (drilling, piping, processing, compressing, etc.) is equal to all the motorized, moving vehicles in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex - times 2.

Here's a link to Prof. Armendariz's website:
