The next time you hear the kittens and popsicles niceties from the Natural Gas Industry about how clean NG is, think again.
NY Times investigative reporting on what the real deal is, complete with explosive, confidential until now EPA documents and never released material that the gas industry does not want in the public eye.
The industry whines about increased regulations; "we're going to have to lay off workers if the regulations are tightened." Meanwhile, the companies are top heavy with fat cat executives and the profit margins for these mega companies are through the roof.
Why can't you have both?

Censorship Wall Street Journal style?
ReplyDeleteA story came out in the WSJ that offered a quote in the comment forum:
"We have to stop blaming documentaries and take a look in the mirror,"said Matt Pitzarella, a spokesman for gas producer Range Resources Corp."
The comment was removed within thirty minutes of posting. A screenshot of the comment is here:
Pitzarella comment
It started a discussion that's interesting.
Did the Gas Industry Censor the Wall Street Journal?
What do you think?
Reality check, if you vote republican you can rest assured of what you'll get:
ReplyDelete"For a preview of the House Republican agenda over the next two years, one need look no further than the over 1,900 pages of responses Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. received when he asked heads of industry about regulatory burdens they wished to see lifted."
Granted, there are those on the left who follow this same nonsense, especially in coal mining and coal fired power plant states, but these republicans are telling you right out loud what they intend to do.
Caveat emptor
Here we go...spin time after the NY Times story.
ReplyDeleteNow the industry "welcomes more testing" they're so full of BS...they've had years to straighten out their act and all they've done is resist and spent millions to discredit all concerns over their supposedly "safe process."
Push on to test water after drilling report
It is most unfortunate we have such stupid politicians who continue to be more greedy with each election and I would say the greed and craving for power and wealth far surpasses any common sense, if they had any.
ReplyDeleteAlthough this is coming from corporate America, those elected to represent the people are responsible to us. However, we have a duty to see to it the judicial part of our governments do their jobs. Due diligence. Nothing out of the ordinary or unusual about that. Fracking cannot be legal. No matter what THEY say they have done in order to get a permit.
