Doug McLinko Tells It Like It Isn't: He's Proud That Bradford County Is Being Destroyed



Published on Jan 23, 2014 Doug McLinko Bradford County Commisioner testifies at the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) hearing in Williamsport, Pennsylvania on Jan.13, 2014 during public comment period concerning proposed revisions of Oil and Gas regulations.

Read the reader comments (scroll down below video). This man is not telling the truth in my opinion. Ask Max Chilson how wonderful gas drilling has been for him in French Azilum. Or farmer Carol French. Or David Bohlander of Wyalusing, PA. Doug McLinko is benefiting personally from gas drilling. He is leased.  My family owns unleased property in French Azilum (Bradford County), and I can assure you there is another side to this story.  Example:  Farm animals are dying and being born deformed, and farmers can't find customers for their organic produce.  That's just the tip of a gigantic iceberg.

Disney Promotes Fossil Fuel Fracking To Kids

Dory Hippauf writes:
"Yep, Disney has jumped on the fracking hype and joined with the Ohio Oil and Gas Association (OOGA) to promote fossil fuel fracking to kids and make it fun!"

I am suggesting that Disney open a new park in Disney World, dedicated to fun with ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENERGY.  The possibilities are endless.  Why not use the money for the good of the planet and our health?  Good or evil?  Which will it be? The power of Disney is incredible.  What an opportunity!
