This morning's Vindicator article about John Kasich wanting to go after drilling of
gas shale on a huge statewide basis should be of concern to all valley residents.
To think huge-scale fracking of gas will solve Ohio's economic crisis is unwise
thinking. It can't be done.
And the enivornmental impact will hurt folks who get their water from wells and such.
Fracking will become another costly environmental clean-up if it goes on-line and in full
scale production.
It's time for the Green Party of Ohio and valley residents to stand opposed to fracking.
Fracking has been going on for decades in Ohio. You are a bit late on this Dennis.
There are over 25,000 gas wells already producing in Ohio, and there has never been a report of a single water well or source having been polluted. Gas wells are drilled down through thousands of feet of solid rock, and the water table that we depend on is only a few hundred feet deep. Oh, and the fracking media, is 99% water.
I challenge anyone to prove in a court of law and not just rumour mongering, any infractions by OUR newest technology in horizontal drilling. We are the envy of the world again in lateral drilling and fracking. For the first time in history, in two years with the Marcellus shale, we are the largest producer of NG in the world, we beat Russia. Pretty soon our environment will be cleaner and middle east terrorist will no longer hold energy over our heads, "Long Live Free Enterprise, the Mahoning valley is rising again!"
View the movie "Gasland", neo-cons....and have your blind eyes opened......
Have a green weekend!
Please Dennis, don't insult our intelligence. A movie, you want to base your argument on a movie? Here's what the head of the Pennsylvania EPA had to say about it, "John Hanger, the secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection said the film is "fundamentally dishonest" and "a deliberately false presentation for dramatic effect."
Hydraulic fracturing has been used in gas well drilling for a couple of decades now. Don't you think that if our drinking water was effected it would have been reported and stopped by now. Nothing to see hear folks, just some environmental weani hysteria.
Dan, I wonder with your support of dirty coal and such, you have any intelligence......
Just another Dirty neo-con bent on destroying the environment and the world.......
Go ahead and make Girard a dirty armpit, Dan....and leave your ignorance and your love of destroying the environment at the county line.....
P.S....Keep poisoning the water with your fracking......

For those of you who want to peer into the future of what Youngstown will look like five years from now, read up on Fort Worth, Texas. Even though it was the first area to harvest her NG by horizontal drilling and mistakes were made, they have learned from them and now is a very prosperous city. Their commercial occupancy rate is very high with more space being built, 85,000 jobs were created and many of their infrastructure is being updated. Nonprofits have no problem in raising funding there. Yes, embrace it, Youngstown is poised to be the ENERGY CAPITAL OF OHIO!
When Wide-spread fracking comes to the valley......don't eat HIS shrimp.....
they will be radioactive and hazardous to your health......
Dennis, you are slipping back into your old ways. Taunts and insults instead of facts. Your behavior points to your intellectual bankruptcy. I feel sorry for you, because liberalism is just too heavy of a lift. How about making at least a cursory attempt at backing up what you are saying about "fracking" poisoning water supplies.
Dan, you wear Rose-Colored Glasses when it comes to fracking......
I can cite you numerous reports......
You won't believe them anyway.......
Why should I waste my time anymore talking to a wall?????
Wow! Numerous reports. Its a shame the EPA was never told about this.
We can at least take solace in the fact that Dennis has absolutely no credibility to turn anything that he proposes into being. We have years of posts on this forum as evidence...
Frack away..... And my house uses well water!
go ahead and support poisoning the neighborhood, Dan and Rick.....
I'll keep up the good fight on the side that is Good and for the people.....
you can support the evil corporations that pollute first, ask questions later.....

Dennis, You are suppose to be educated, do you think you have the right to make this statement publicly? Do you think you have the right to claim that my shrimp will now on be contaminated? Should I go to Atty. Clemente and show her this wanton statement that maybe damaging? Are you so far liberal that you think you can make any statement even if it can damage ones business? Are you really this stupid?

How can you sue me, I am a deadbeat, (in your words)
with NO MONEY!!!!! ha ha ha
P.S.....how can I damage your business????? You have to sell things to have a business.....
