I can't see this being particularly effective. For one thing, Rick Perry doesn't care what we email him. At all. Because he is Rick Perry. For another, even if he did take back the order to expedite the permitting process, what good would that do? This is Texas. It will still be approved.
In fact, I can't see anything other than a major grassroots campaign with an enormous amount of negative publicity for the energy company itself being in any way effective. Am I too negative about it because I live here and am frustrated with local politics? Maybe. And yet.
Anybody up for spearheading a major, public protest? I'll come to the picket.
On the other hand, thanks for posting this, Grist. Good start.
