The Need for Drilling

[irishbobcat]

Ricky...fracking is not a safe procedure......

what will you say and do for the families who have their water supply tainted?

Will you and the fracking companies conpensate them for the damages caused by fracking?

Will you buy them a new home? New land? Will you pay for their medicial expenses?

You will do nothing but shrug your shoulders and say "oh well"......

[Rick Rowlands]

Dennis, you have been hurling broad accusations but I'm not seeing any facts.  Where are the polluted wells at?  Where are the polluted streams?  Tell me how the OEPA is going to not force cleanup of a surface spill.   You act as if we are living in 1912 Youngstown and not 2012 Youngstown.  You operate on the false premise that a choice has to be made, that we have to trade our (semi) clean streams and water wells for jobs and prosperity.   No choice is being made here or required to be made.  Fracking is a safe procedure that has been done millions of times since 1948 and there are only scant instances when there have been problems.

And you will try to get your agenda across by promising big bucks while refusing to tell
the people of the dangers of fracking......

you will refuse to tell them about poisoned water and poisoned land......

You will lie....you will be dishonest...and you be willing to commit to the destruction of our
valuable water and land because you think you can make a buck out of fracking....

to be willing to destroy ther people's water and land makes you truly one sick, warped, individual....

where are your morals? where are your brains? Time to quit sitting on them and study up on the dangers of fracking.....

Mikey, I have no plan.....but your plan is hell bent on destroying the environment so some
big business folks can make some quick money and leave us high and dry alone to deal with the toxins in
our water and land after fracking is done....

You are so hell bent on making a buck at any cost you can't see the whole picture....

Folks with small minds rarely see the whole picture.....

Your plan is to try to scare every single person in this valley to get your agenda across. We see right through it.

The Valley wants these jobs, hence the BROAD support across party lines for this movement!

JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!

Mikey...So it is safe to say you don't give a crap about our valley's streams and water
becoming overrun with toxic chemicals just as long as there are jobs, jobs, jobs?

Will these fracking companies invest billions and billions to help clean-up contaminated streams,
water tables, and land poisoned by the deadly toxins being pumped underground?

Mikey, you are nothing more than a 21st century carpetbagger.....a sinner among men.....

Thanks for not caring about the land and water that your children and grandchildren will be lefted with
after fracking leaves a scar across our valley.....

Thanks for not leaving the water and land better for future generations.....

And once again, what is your plans to create thousands of jobs locally?

Mikey, when our water and land becomes contaminated , when our local streams dry up because the fracking companies bleed them dry to pour water down fracking holes, and when our countryside is riddled with acres destroyed by abandoned well sites, will you still be proud to call this area your home?

It's sad that you pro-fracking only fix your eyes on the very short-term potential of a few individuals making a quick buck and
refuse to see the long-term effects fracking will cause our area......

Those companies are investing billions into eastern Ohio and unemployed people will finally get back to work.

Williamsport, PA and parts of North Dakota are booming from their drilling. The Utica Shale is even bigger than their areas of drilling!

JOBS JOBS JOBS!!!

Keep up the thorough reporting on this new industry that will save us all.

"I Love the smell of Fracking in the morning!"
