Representatives of Lexam Explorations told Saguache County Commissioners Tuesday they are optimistic about drilling petroleum test wells in the Crestone area, but won't be drilling until fall.

Its going to be a sad day for Crestone and for all the San Luis Valley when Lexam begins drilling for oil. When will we ever learn?

its going to be a great day for saguache county, if oil is produced, thereby insuring more income, jobs, and industry. I wonder when we will ever learn where the energy comes from to light and heat our homes. to make out plastics, and drive our cars.

That day has almost arrived and I am not looking forward to having "those jobs" you mention. Crime will rise, more methheads will move in, our infrastructure will be challenged - all for OIL. So who owns Lexam - anyone in the Bush administration?

Obviously you are a negative, narrow minded individual who has a secure job and can take care of your family well on your income. These jobs will pay well and anyone working in the oil and gas fields is TESTED ON A REGULAR BASIS for drug use and abuse.
P.S.- What infrastructure?
