My first major Sunday story at the Citizen Patriot was a pain in the butt. But I guess it makes sense given the subject — oil. And it's not the like the drilling of oil in the Gulf, so don't go flipping your lid until you read the story or do your own research. While being a journalist, I realized the major factor in people becoming upset is ignorance. I have learned way more than I ever thought I would have the oil process, especially on the smaller scale in Jackson County. The main wells or facilities are mostly on farmers' lands. And one of them told me something that made a lot of sense. "We're farmers. Why would we harm the land?" Sure, there are always going to be some companies that hurt the reputation. But some are just trying to run a business.
But one assumption that might be correct is in the right circumstances, some people can make some big bucks off the oil industry.
Read my story. Get educated.
