DEP just issued permits for deep injection wells in Elk and Indiana counties yesterday putting the health and well being of more Pennsylvanians at risk on the very same day Maryland, an adjacent state ban fracking! Impeach Wolf! Ban fracking everywhere! Stop the insanity!
Would love to get Dr. John's update on this and get his attention on Ñorth Beaver Township, Pa before it is too late! The area is home to the historic Bessemer Oil Field, which more than once kept the States oil production numbers from declining off previous years records. It is home to over 2500 orphaned and abandon oil and gas wells drilled at the turn of the last century and numerous coal mines. In March of 2014 Hilcorp Energy was fracking 2 miles away in the Utica Shale layer in Poland township, Ohio. They caused 77 earthquakes before ODNR shut them done with a 5 mile ban on fracking because of a previously unknown fault line. Not to be deterred Hilcorp merely stepped acrossthe stateline and continued operations where ODNR has no authority and where PA DEP stands for Dept of Energy Protection or Production, your choice.! This past April Hilcorp once again caused 6 more earthquakes a mere 3 miles from the 2014 frackquakes! How is it that they knew there was gas in the shale but could not detect the fault? Once the fault was detected why isn't DEP protecting the environment and the citizens of the Commonwealth? There have been 2 major incidences of land subsidence, taking roads and farm fields down into old coal mines, all within a couple of miles of the epicenters of these quakes. Some one, anyone please step up to the plate and help deal with the greed and stupidity pervasive in the area! The Lawrence County Commissioners have turned a deaf ear, appealing to DEP is futile. No one has the right to enrich themselves while poisoning the community! This is not a Boom it is a total BUST!
Awesome Charlie and right on target as usual! You would think that the publicity that Caitlyn Jenner brought to the issue would have / should have opened peoples eyes to the struggle of being different than what your outward appearence gives the impression of. The only good news here is the younger generation is much more accepting so it will happen...it should have happened but dolts like Cruz exist every where. Good news is they will die someday!
Maybe you should get someone to delve into the science of reproduction and genetics so the stupid comments on here don't continue to influence thinking! A bit of shaming is in order here for sure! For the morons who hide behind stupid monikers I say , "Put your man pants on and own your words! Put your name on your hateful rhetoric!"
What a story! The emotional toll is just unbelievable. Thank god your grandmother took charge and did what she had to to protect your mom and everyone else!
...no set back is "safe" because fracking is not safe! Love the industries response...yep a bunch of mom's, forced to take action to protect their kids are guilty of spreading fear. Only fear being spread by them is the concern they have for their kids health.
