Yesterday local residents witnessed cows dying in a fenced in Louisiana pasture, just 150 feet from a Chesapeake well. Apparently some type of production, or fracking fluid ran offsite and into the pasture where the cows got into it and ingested it.
For the latest on this story, CLICK HERE.
The National Park Service has a major opportunity to close a set of thirty-year-old loopholes, which currently exempt more than half of all oil and gas wells from regulation.
This opportunity is especially urgent now that a huge natural gas boom has been found on the Marcellus Shale in the northeast, which could threaten dozens of units of the national park system if the Service does not act.
These parks include iconic landscapes, like the Gettysburg battlefield, the Flight 93 national memorial, the Delaware Water Gap, and the Appalachian Trail. By modernizing its regulations now, the Service can best protect the units of the national park system by setting the gold standard for oil and gas regulation.
We the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania call for a complete moratorium of all natural gas and oil drilling activities, including exploration, until a time when the processes involved do not affect the environment (including land, air and water) and the health of the population in any negative manner what so ever.
Sincerely,
GAS STOCK

This is so sad. Chesapeake Energy will probably get by with this.
ReplyDeleteStupid, it might have died in calf birth. If I show you a plane crash, are you gonna think your parents are dead? Simple minds like yours are whipped into a frenzy by those who are smarter. How do you know it is at a well sit ? Duh ? OH ya, the sky is falling, give me all your money.
DeleteWHY??? Why do regulations permit these carelessly operated, negligent death factories to set up shop so close to grazing land and other areas where life is innocently being lived? How can anyone take parting in these lethal operations live comfortably with their actions?
ReplyDeleteTalk that talk while you spend your GAS ROYALTIES AT WALMART BUYING A THONG AND A LACE TEDDY< WITH A POUND OF CHICKEN TENDERS..............LARDASS.
DeleteMy family has summered in French Azilum, Bradford County, PA, since the 1930s. We call the place Camp. It's right on the Susquehanna River. Right next door is a farm that used to have dairy cows. The cows are gone now, but horses, which are ridden by the farmer's granddaughter at competitions (she's a top competitor in PA), graze peacefully in the fields there. We love watching these magnificent creatures. How long will they be able to escape the dangers of gas drilling? Does the farmer even know about these dangers? The dead cows in Louisiana make me so sad because I think this death will arrive in PA before long. More collateral damage.
ReplyDeleteDumbass, it died from blue ice ( crap from an airplane off-loaded mid air ) It was hit in the head from the frozen ice ball. You can tell about as much from my explanation, as from the original poster. Your Dad could have even hit it going to work> Got proof ?????????????
DeleteI summered in West Texas, as well as the most of the year,( home of most wells ), all my life and I'm still living. The French have been a little light in the loafers all their life war finace, sex, ect. Do you think they have had time enough to lift their heads up from doing the sheep, to worry about the gas wells ?
DeleteNatural gas is domestic, clean, cheap, and plentiful. The energy used to power the computer you wrote that on could have been from a natural gas fired electrical plant. You are biting the hand that feeds you, or more accurately energizes your world. Aside from that chesapeake does not conduct its own fraccing,this is done by a third party. Find out who is to blame before you start crying for the horses on a farm you went to for vacation that might die if x number of things go wrong. Natural gas companies offer a better way. No energy solution is safe-In England, wind turbines started throwing chunks of ice onto a neighborhood causing injuries and property damage and ultimately evacuation of the area. Come to think of it, nuclear energy is one the safest, most economically viable energy sources we possess but "nuclear" just sounds mean and evil to people like you. With a little research you could save yourselves from making ignorant statements and help move the country forward.

ReplyDeleteTxsharon and Kim Triolo Feil swear by the story of " 130 chickens, a one week old calf that drank out of a tank (?) And several cows that bled out of all orafices and THEIR EYE BALLS EXPLODED IN THEIR HEADS, evidently in front of TXSHARON and KIm TRIOLO FEIL of Arlington, Texas, that takes gas well royalties, but turnes around and MF the gas well industry. Sorta like cussing pedophiles, then offering them your little sister for money.
DeleteTXSHARON, can you prove those cows are drinking out of a frack pond ? I am going to do what I can to find the site and diprove you publicly. Maybe even follow the cows to auction. I hope you get sued.
