Brown Should I Drill Or Not Let The State Find Out

Jerry Brown in his first stint as California governor was known as Governor Moonbeam

Second time around he has become the champion of the renewable energy greens

Many a fossil fuel energy project under the banner of stopping climate change he has chosen to block

So the news of exploring oil and gas potential production on the Brown family ranch is somewhat of a shock

Not so much that he wanted to the possibilities of oil and gas and minerals to explore

Most landowners wonder what oil and gas are waiting to be extracted along with some valuable mineral ores

But rather not hiring on his own nickel a private firm

But directing state workers to create a 50 plus page report to deny or the existence of black gold to affirm

Not using state workers for private projects is basic integrity in government 101

Even ignoring the hypocrisy of political officials we have come accustomed  to expect, surprised these ethics Brown chose to shun
