The most charitable thing one might say is that these big wigs actually believe what they are doing is going to be helpful to the country in the long run. They would be wrong about that, though.Peacegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098424765852560323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470105285304935024.post-40131523216315261302011-09-02T22:33:53.509-04:002011-09-02T22:33:53.509-04:00Can you imagine what would happen if the CEO of Ch...Can you imagine what would happen if the CEO of Chesapeake got symptoms and a bad prognosis like the Stiles did? The politicians and scientists and DEC would be buzzing around like bees until they found out what caused it and whatever caused it would be shut down immediately. But these things AREN'T happening to the bigwigs.They are happening to hard-working, salt-of-the-Earth people, who don't have access to billions of dollars. Their lives have been destroyed by hydrofracking and they have no recourse. The gas company doesn't care if there are a bunch of casualties along its way to making billions. It is up to us- people who can see the pain these people are going through and understand the for-now-unsolvable problems connected to the industry- to help vote out politicians who support hydrofracking. The environmental cost of hydrofracking and the inability to deal with the inevitable by-products from this process should make it illegal until they come up with waste management solutions that don't involve citizens getting sick and/or dying.Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face- we are destroying the water sources we need to exist!Perhaps it's just some cosmic joke and something out there is watching us like people watch "World's Worst Drivers" and saying, "Oh, look what the humans are up to today! I think their road to extinction will be a little shorter than we anticipated. They are so darn funny!"smurfettenoreply@blogger.com
