and david vacar, energy reporter. welcome to all of you. vid, of course the state is responsible for drafting these regulations, ultimately implementing them i guess. how is the state doing? >> well, it's interesting to watch. the state agency in particular that is in charge of all of this, the department of conservation and within that the division of oil, gas and geothermal resources, this is putting them in a role they didn't have before. they have always been in charge of making sure that oil field operations are run the right way in the state. but this whole process is giving them sort of a public prominence that they just are not used to. they're going to be conduits of information between oil companies that are doing fracking around the state and the public. and that's not really something they have much experience with in the past. >> a lot of emotion around this as well, so the public is paying close attention. >> exactly. that said, they do appear to be moving to implement everything that the legislature asked them to do with that
