BTW, if you have not yet seen it - buy the movie "Gasland", watch it, show it to all your neighbors and organize yourselves - that is probably the best thing you can do to respond to this "rape" of your rights in the name of profits. Since this is the EVDL, I will say no more. Success.

These days it is not uncommon to see all older houses there damaged from shifting ground, some houses were condemned and many have broken walls from regular small earthquakes and moving soil, so the walls tear from bottom to top (these are brick walls). After pressure from the public, the disclosure was made that there is no guarantee that the strength of earthquakes (which were unheard of in this area) can stay below 2.5 as they promised before - now they do not know how strong the eartquakes will get... Can we say a man-made disaster?

Many more people are closer to the danger. I would have to go with chlorinated tap water, at $5k to get a hook up. We currently have a very business pliant legislature, they are accepting allowing the exact formulations and nature of the chemicals used to be kept secret - even suggesting that revealing them would be a felony. Yes, if a journalist were to discover and reveal them they would be jailed as a felon. How crazy is that? The geology where they are headed is not like the areas where fracking has been performed with no known effect on the aquifers, the structure there is very jumbled up with hardened dikes, of unknown topology and unknown fissures that could very well reroute the stuff unpredictably. The sorriest thing is there is barely enough gas to make it worth while - debatable if it is worth doing. Even so, there will be a lot of salaries paid regardless of the amounts of gas. Much of the rural areas where they want to do this are pretty low income - which usually means they get screwed as they have little clout. The monetary return for the people living above the area is not going to be much, and the risks possibly very high. It is ugly what is going on here.
