Something to article as it complicates matters. . .except part where guy says urban people don't get the farmers' complaints re: land rights being given to energy extractors (energy that urban areas gobble up - makes sense). But reason I don't get farmers' complaints is that me & my urban friends want resource extractors MORE regulated. We want to protect the environment & for farmers to flourish.
