NIMBY

I picked this up off of a website that quoted the Forbes’s Internet website. I did cross check it with other sources and to the best of my checking ability it is true.

Rex Tillerson is the CEO of Exxon Mobile.

His company is in the business of procuring and producing fossil fuels and natural gas anywhere it can find them. Personal property, homes and homesteads are often ignored.

In a speech in 2012 Mr. Tillerson criticized the regulations holding back fracking as counter-productive to America’s economic recovery.

He has a ranch in Bartonville, Texas. A local water company has a permit from the town to build a water tower next to the Tillerson ranch to supply water to a near-by fracking site.

Mr. Tillerson and some co-plaintiffs are suing the water company to stop construction alleging the water company promised it wouldn’t build a tower near their properties.

The unsaid ramifications of the lawsuit means we don’t want trucks, a tower, and a disruption of life’s quality and the value of our properties to go down.

It's the old NIMBY protest. Not In My Back Yard.

Apparently Mr. Tillerson has declined to comment.
