That is now up to $4 billion and the stocks are plummeting. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. Don't subcontract with them. Don't build stuff for them. If you value your future and deal with them, insist on cash up front.
You folks need to quit falling for the fracker lines of deception and don't drink the fracker Kool Aid. He's one guy that's paid to make you feel all warm and fuzzy. Look at what's going on around you. France banned fracking, as did Germany. The Czech's are going to and so is Poland. Even Vermont banned it. Moratoriums and bans are happening at an all time pace.
Even T. Boone Pickens himself sold all his stock in Chesapeake. Don't let them ruin Ohio like they did in parts of PA. Just this week news in PA of people just living next door to wells that can't get mortgages because of nearby drilling. People in Sullivan County are walking away from their homes because they are not worth the wood they are built with because of this. Open your world up and see that this is not the answer.
Absolutely sinful that they are allowed to forever destroy so much water. If you could see and hear what the people that have already lived this nightmare have to say, you would seriously reconsider this "forever damage" you are doing to your fine state, Ohio...
We know they got a DEP permit, but they still needed a zoning permit from the Township. That was the whole point of the story. I feel bad for you folks in Ohio. You don't know how bad this is for your community until they bully their way in and you don't get any say so and can never use that land again. This is UGLY!
You can all go on and think that drilling is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I can guarantee you that those near a well site will be singing a different tune very soon. Here is what is happening in Darlington Twp., PA tonight. About 17 miles from you.
Chesapeake Energy was sent a CEASE AND DESIST letter from the Darlington Twp. Supervisors for their actions on the McRoberts well site. These folks possess a lease that not only expires on April 25th, but they are suing Chesapeake Energy stating that they lease is NOT VALID. 17 families are suing!
The well pad area is in an area zoned Residential/Agricultural. In order to proceed, Chesapeake had to get a "Conditional Use Permit". They applied for it. 2 meetings were set up to hear testimony. Chesapeake Energy officials cancelled BOTH meetings.
Without the Permit, Chesapeake started preparing the well pad and informed Township officials they would not honor the Cease and Desist letter. There is no well pad prepared. They brought in a small drill and told the owners they will work through the night to get a hole punched in the ground.
The next step is for Darlington Twp. Supervisors to go before the local Magistrate and get an injunction.
Arrogant doesn't begin to describe their behavior. Every resident here must go through the same permitting process if they seek to use the land in a way different from how it is zoned. Not them. They bullied their way in here and are refusing to abide by our local laws.
This writer is right on the mark. Why Ohio didn't look at the complete devastation in other states before allowing this industry to destroy practically the entire state is beyond me. New York has yet to allow new permits and are awaiting a complete assessment prior to making any decision to move forward. Why doesn't Ohio deserve that? You do deserve it. It's just that your political leaders are so taken with the immense campaign donations that they put the people of Ohio second to their own desires. No good can come from this now. Perhaps some day they will find a safer way to extract the gas and oil, but it's most certainly not now. Kudos to the writer for speaking up.
Notice they were also ordered to perform radiation tests. There is a good reason for that. Brine contains heavy concentrations of radioactivity. You must stop fracking and the injections wells.
Dear Ohio. I read the gasser websites on a regular basis. They are planning hundreds more injection wells there. Please stand as one and put a stop to this practice. Why are you becoming the dumping grounds for neighboring states. Let me tell you. I live over the line in PA and I felt it. Slightly, but I felt it nonetheless. Please show support for Rep. Hagan and stand behind him. Stand together to STOP this.

The last thing you need are these kinds of jobs. They are temporary and expose you to contaminants like no other job.
