Terry Greenwood: We Won't Forget You

Last month, Terry Greenwood, a Pennsylvania farmer whose water had been contaminated by fracking waste, died of cancer. He was 66 and the cause of death was a rare form of brain cancer.
His death drew attention from around the globe in part because Mr. Greenwood was among the first farmers from his state to speak out against the gas industry during the early years of the state's shale gas rush.

Many thanks to Josh Fox for all he has done to get the truth out about the harmful effects of natural gas drilling, and for this memorial video to honor the life of Terry Greenwood.

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.
