Jittery Gas Industry Awaits Word On Anti-Drilling Ballot Initiatives

摘要

Nervous gas industry officials in Colorado are bracing for a showdown with voters over ballot initiatives that could sharply curtail new production in hydrocarbon-rich the Rocky Mountain state. Last week, Coloradans Resisting Extreme Energy Development (Creed) said it had collected signatures from roughly 110,000 registered voters to place the two referendums on November's ballot. The secretary of state has 30 days to certify that at least 98,492 of those are valid.
