Fracking and the Sabres

So the guy who wants to buy the Sabres made his fortune through hydro-fracking.  Although it can be Googled easily enough, before Sunday's article in the business section of the Buffalo News the local news outlets had not bothered to link the two together in a headline blasting manner (whatever happened to "the public's right to know"?)...

...and sticking it in the business section via an opinion column isn't exactly calling attention to it, especially when the word "fracking" isn't used...I wonder why (sarcasm)...

From the Sierra Club:

"Over the years, our company has drilled thousands of wells, and every one of them is fracked," said Terrence M. Pegula, the chief executive officer of East Resources. "I can't believe we have to sit now and try to explain it."

I wonder if the sale of his company has an escape clause in it too, like a similar acquisition? The Sabres could end up owned by a Dutch Petro Company, unless of course Golisano puts in some contract language regarding a possible glitch or two somewhere along the way.

Wonderful, just wonderful. Kind of puts a dimmer switch on things...
