Farmer, Your "would really rather" is shared by most everyone on this
forum.  Unfortunately, the operation is controlled by someone whose primary
concern is $, with use of natural resources being a very distant second.
Standby for a couple years from now, when utilities costs are expected to
be much higher. There will be many more of these rigs ravaging our
woodlands.
