CHC Interviewed by KRCC-Western Skies

KRCC Radio Interview with CHC

Late in January we worked with Western Skies KRCC Radio to interview our leadership and members in the Gardner area for as part of their radio series on fracking.

We are fortunate to have been singled out as a proactive county in the clamor to frack and extract.  It is our hope that we can communicate the special nature of our setting and the challenges presented by the complex geology of the area.

While some have welcomed the oil and gas industry with open arms, others are worried about what this might mean for their communities. KRCC’s Jake Brownell has this story of a group of concerned citizens in Huerfano County, and the challenges they’ve faced in their attempts to be heard.
