I wasn’t going to send this post to the Chatlist, but after thinking about it, I would like all to please read it.
Chatlist,
>>I recently have been ridiculed on the Chatlist, for my outspoken behavior at
>> the meetings. There are 2 sides to every story. Mr. Fromkin speaking at a
>> Fracking meeting, was avoiding a question, answering with asking a question, and
>> not acknowledging, those who attended the meetings, as intelligent people.. We
>> all know this was a sales pitch, and what Fromkin Energies wants to do in the
>> state of North Carolina. Jordan Lake is a huge source of water for the
>> fracking, 1-7,000,000 gallons of water per well, and a 595 toxic chemical
>> cocktail to fracture the geo system of the earth. It doesn’t take a rocket
>> scientist to realize how much damage will be done to our ecosystem and our water
>> supply. This is disgraceful, we need clean water to live, all living creatures
>> do, natural gas is greed.
>>>> We are screwing up our environment and it can’t be repaired once these
>> chemicals seep into our earth. I urge every one to watch ‘GASLAND’, and avoid
>> political bullying. The final outcome it is not our decision, but it is our
>> right to have ‘freedom of speech’. We need to be heard. What about the nuclear
>> power plant in New Hill, so close to Jordan Lake, the earth does move with
>> fracturing. Then what? There was a fish kill in Jordan Lake this past summer, why??

>>>> I am from NJ, born and raised in the state. College graduate. I had a
>> small horse farm in NJ, before moving to Apex, NC. There was a natural gas
>> pumping station adjoining my farm, and a natural gas easement that ran 1600 feet
>> through my farm. I was approached, one beautiful October day, that Transco (now
>> Williams Pipeline) needed to check the pipeline, they would be in and out and I
>> would never know they been there. I fell for that for a few days, then I stood
>> up for my land, horses, family, etc. It was a nightmare. I know about
>> fracking, pumping natural gas, when the earth moves less then 25 feet from your
>> home and well, your windows vibrate, sirens going off, the stench of natural in
>> the air, overwhelmed with what Transco had done to my property and our lives. I
>> took many pictures of this destruction. This story goes on, through an attorney,
>> senators, governors, congressmen, mayors, all the way to DC. WE STOPPED THEM!
>> Yes, a small grassroots organization stopped
>>>> STOP) the biggest lobby in DC. Don’t give up your state for greedy
>> fracking companies. Please remember where there is a pump or well, there is
>> going to be a pipeline to get it out. Are you ready for the disruption of so
>> many lives, the health decline and our water source is toxic. We are in a
>> drought now, and have been for years. What would it be like to turn on your
>> faucet and no water comes out, or the water is polluted beyond description? For
>> what, gas greed. Find another environmentally safe way to do this, FRACKING is
>> not the answer. Study, research, don’t rush and do it right, there is no
>> turning back.
