In Colorado, Drilling Some Holes in the Republican Base - washingtonpost.com: "'One day we counted 32 semis bumper-to-bumper coming by our house,' said Carol Bell, 59, whose hilltop home outside Silt commands views in every direction. 'It's drilling everywhere I look.' Like most Colorado property owners, Bell and her husband control only 'surface rights.' They had scant leverage with the firm that drilled four wells behind their house, frightening off the 300 elk who wintered there and accidentally spraying paraffin over five acres of hay. A retired pharmaceutical chemist, Bell said she worries about 'the stuff you can't smell, you can't see.' 'It seems like it's changed almost everything,' she said. 'It's not the same place. In fact, we're moving. There are people coming to see the place Saturday.'"
