So much methane in it.

312
00:17:00,754 --> 00:17:03,087
we are marginalized

it's hard to fight

317

Um, because you can't

... to change the rules,

319

You need a legislator,

320
00:17:28,515 --> 00:17:30,214

322
00:17:35,722 --> 00:17:39,023
optimistic about the future

323
00:17:39,125 --> 00:17:41,659
Natural gas has less CO2

324
00:17:41,761 --> 00:17:43,728
compared to coal or oil
and less costs too.

325
00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:46,664
Using natural gas to support it
more renewable energy

326
00:17:46,766 --> 00:17:48,433
Makes sense for the climate.

327
00:17:48,535 --> 00:17:49,567
With the gas industry
in the region

328

331
00:17:55,975 --> 00:17:59,710
Sounds very good and
especially with natural gas

332
00:17:59,813 --> 00:18:02,413
Because, uh, everyone wants

333
00:18:02,515 --> 00:18:05,016
to do something,
uh, climate change

334
00:18:05,118 --> 00:18:07,985
People try to find out
how they will get

335
00:18:08,088 --> 00:18:10,354
quite a lot of carbon
out of the atmosphere

336
00:18:10,457 --> 00:18:12,690
make, make
United States work

337
00:18:12,792 --> 00:18:14,992
and to keep the economy going.

338
00:18:15,095 --> 00:18:17,628
And the idea is
burning natural gas

339
00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:21,899
produces CO2 emissions that are lower
than coal combustion

340
00:18:22,001 --> 00:18:24,602
The idea of this bridge
that we must continue

341
00:18:24,704 --> 00:18:28,005
use natural gas as
fossil fuel that should be clean

342
00:18:28,108 --> 00:18:30,007
to bring us to green
a renewable future

343
00:18:30,110 --> 00:18:32,543
is a ridiculous analogy.

344
00:18:32,645 --> 00:18:35,012
As a civil engineer,
Believe me, I know the bridge.

345
00:18:35,115 --> 00:18:37,849
Usually, bridges are built
from where you are

346
00:18:37,951 --> 00:18:39,851
to the place where you want to get,
so you don't fall into it

347
00:18:39,953 --> 00:18:41,919
places you don't want

348
00:18:42,021 --> 00:18:44,956
So a place that you don't want,
using fossil fuels.

349
00:18:45,058 --> 00:18:47,892
So the understanding is that you build it
a bridge from fossil fuels

350
00:18:47,994 --> 00:18:49,694
to overcome its use

351
00:18:49,796 --> 00:18:51,996
fossil fuels

352
00:18:52,098 --> 00:18:55,066
Excuse me, it's an analogy
only incompetent

353
00:18:55,168 --> 00:18:58,136
So, if we suddenly have
abundance of natural gas

354
00:18:58,238 --> 00:19:00,638
where we can switch from burning
coal to burning natural gas

355
00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:03,641
So you can get, uh, work

356
00:19:03,743 --> 00:19:07,044
You can have, uh,
more natural gas production

357
00:19:07,147 --> 00:19:10,648
and you can paint yourself
as an environmental expert

358
00:19:10,750 --> 00:19:12,049

All other majors

The fact is fossil fuels,

1188
00:58:26,804 --> 00:58:31,039
There are only so many coal, oil and natural gas on the ground  and we extract using
the principle of low hanging fruit.

<i>because the plantation was split.</i>

1238
01:01:17,241 --> 01:01:20,042

1239

1240
01:01:24,448 --> 01:01:29,084
<i>And the surface is</i>
<i>subordinate to minerals.</i>

1241
01:01:29,186 --> 01:01:31,687
So when they want to enter

they do it right above you

<i>Now, I tell</i>
<i>how this happened.</i>

1258
01:02:35,953 --> 01:02:38,820
My wife and I go
to Middleton someday

1259
01:02:38,922 --> 01:02:41,923
and we go home that night
and suddenly

1260
01:02:42,025 --> 01:02:43,992
I see there
a bet out there

1261
01:02:44,094 --> 01:02:46,962
Large tall wood sand,
with lots

1262
01:02:47,064 --> 01:02:49,765
orange ribbon on it.

1263
01:02:49,867 --> 01:02:53,301
When I saw that
I immediately knew what it was

1264
01:02:53,403 --> 01:02:56,404
'because they already drillin'
away around us. '

1265
01:02:58,742 --> 01:03:00,609
<i>A few days later,</i>
<i>this person appeared</i>

1266
01:03:00,711 --> 01:03:02,711
<i>say, "We will</i>
<i>drill wells there.</i>

1267
01:03:02,813 --> 01:03:05,180
<i>You have no choice."</i>

1268
01:03:05,282 --> 01:03:07,549
And I didn't do it because
I can't fight the oil company

1269
01:03:07,651 --> 01:03:10,352
and I can't fight
the US government.

1270
01:03:10,454 --> 01:03:11,920
The government says they can do that

1271
01:03:12,022 --> 01:03:14,656
so they take mine

1272
01:03:14,758 --> 01:03:17,425
they take my land,
they drill an oil well on it

1273
01:03:17,528 --> 01:03:19,461
and I don't understand
anything from that

1274
01:03:19,563 --> 01:03:22,230
They say here
some money for damage.

1275
01:03:22,332 --> 01:03:26,668
Okay, so...
I get money for damage.

1276
01:03:26,770 --> 01:03:29,704
Oil companies get tax
deductions for what they give me

1277
01:03:29,807 --> 01:03:32,307
and then I have to pay
20 percent of income received in advance

1278
01:03:32,409 --> 01:03:35,610
on what they gave me
to take mine  Become a mineral owner
get lots of money

1279
01:03:35,712 --> 01:03:38,814
And oil companies
make lots of money

1280
01:03:38,916 --> 01:03:41,983
And all contractors
involved in

1281
01:03:42,085 --> 01:03:45,320
get this thing drilled
and in operation

1282
01:03:45,422 --> 01:03:48,390
and every
makes lots of money

1283
01:03:48,492 --> 01:03:50,692

<i>Value has dropped.</i>

1293
01:04:21,892 --> 01:04:24,292
And what big businesses see
as valuable

1294
01:04:24,394 --> 01:04:26,795
what is it

1306
01:05:06,336 --> 01:05:08,837

1314
01:05:37,367 --> 01:05:40,769
So people will ask ,
"Is it in our best interest?

to have it drillin '
in our community? "

And we all
who have seen the impact

01:05:45,509 --> 01:05:47,475
Thus, say,
"Absolutely not."

1318

And anytime,
the advantage of shifting people

the right to make that decision.

about the arguments
they make

1366
01:08:07,551 --> 01:08:09,551
Then they say,
under the law

Nothing... don't know,
nothing is sacred.

guess what?
City Abita
zoning law means nothing '.

and listen to people

1378
01:08:41,351 --> 01:08:44,752
only surprised not to believe

1379
01:08:44,855 --> 01:08:47,489
this can
occur in America

1380
01:08:47,591 --> 01:08:49,457
People say,
"How did that happen?"

1381
01:08:49,559 --> 01:08:50,859
Well, we have land rent in Louisiana  We have mineral leases.

1382
01:08:50,961 --> 01:08:53,394
You might have that property
on it

1383
01:08:53,497 --> 01:08:54,529
but you may not have
mineral resources

01:08:54,631 --> 01:08:56,965
