The solution to the natural gas "shortage": -High efficiency gas "combined cycle" electricity generation -Utility sponsored "efficiency" programs for homes &businesses
Methods like these will reduce our demand for natural gas and make our natural resources available in the future.
Ohio politicians will let the oil industry ruin our state. The public will eventually have to pay to fix the damage.
Meanwhile, plenty of contributions will be made to campaign funds and patronage jobs will be offered to the family members of the legislators and governor.
Of course the oil industry is going to hype the number of jobs. That way they can fool the public into favoring drilling and putting up with destroyed roads and streams.
Buy off a few politicians, like the Governor of Pennsylvania, and that is all they need to take away our democracy.
...The money would help to pay the taxes on their farms. The land man who came to the Haney home to sell the lease showed pictures of a farm and pasture with a well cap “the size of a garbage can,” Haney said, which she found reassuring. And it didn’t seem as if the drilling would affect their lives much. RANGE RESOURCES was involved in the community in small ways too. For the past several years, it operated a booth at the Washington County Fair. In 2010, the company offered kids an extra $100 for the farm animals they auctioned. That was the year Stacey Haney’s son, Harley, took his breeding goat, Boots, all the way to grand champion.
At the fair, Haney ran into her next-door neighbor, Beth Voyles, 54, a horse trainer and dog breeder, who signed the lease with Haney in 2008. She told Haney that her 11 /2-year-old boxer, Cummins, had just died. Voyles thought that he was poisoned. She saw the dog drinking repeatedly from a puddle of road runoff, and she thought that the water the gas company used to wet down the roads probably had antifreeze in it. “We do not use ethylene glycol in the fracking process,” Matt Pitzarella of RANGE RESOURCES told me. He also said that the dog’s veterinarian couldn’t confirm the dog had been poisoned and that another possible cause of death was cancer.
A month later, Haney’s dog, Hunter, also died suddenly. Soon after, Voyles called Haney to tell her that her barrel horse, Jody, was dead. Lab results revealed a high level of toxicity in her liver. Voyles sent her animals’ test results to RANGE RESOURCES. In response, RANGE RESOURCES wrote to Voyles to say that, as the veterinarian indicated, the horse died of toxicity of the liver, not antifreeze poisoning. The company did acknowledge that the vet suspected the horse died of poisoning by heavy metals. Subsequent TESTS of the Voyleses’ water supply BY RANGE RESOURCES revealed no heavy metals. ...
