"The geyser of public concern that erupted when Tecton Energy announced plans to drill for oil in the Galisteo Basin last year seems to have slowed to a trickle of dogged stakeholders.
About 800 people packed the Santa Fe High School gymnasium last year to discuss Santa Fe County's early attempts at drafting regulations to govern the oil and gas industry. Only about 100 people attended Thursday's County Development Review Committee hearing on the latest version of those regulations.

Last year's crowd booed, hissed and berated county officials. This time the audience repeatedly thanked officials and planners for their dedication to the task of protecting county residents and resources from the potential impacts of hydrocarbon production."
