Pave Paradise
Posted on December 30, 2013
Hope you all had a nice holiday weekend, we are LIVE tonight to catch up on all the weekend news, and also wrap-up some of the top stories of 2013 deserving of more attention.
Austin Eudaly (L), an executive with Flatiron Energy Partners, talks with members of the Ohio Amish community at the Deersville, Ohio, Volunteer Fire Department on December 10, 2013.REUTERS/Ernest Scheyder Have you heard about Big oil vs. the Amish? In Ohio and elsewhere, oil and gas companies are pressuring the Amish peoples who live in the area to allow them to drill on their farmlands for a hefty advance royalty on future petroleum profits. Reuters has the story:
Farmers in the close-knit Amish community who eschew electricity and most technology, are among landowners capitalizing on a new financial trend in the United States energy boom selling decades of future oil and natural gas royalties for an immediate pile of cash.
Gulfport Energy Corp, Chesapeake Energy Corp, Anadarko Petroleum Corp and others have spent billions developing oil and gas reserves on land in Ohios Utica shale formation often by agreeing to give landowners years of royalties, or a cut of future production, in exchange for the right to drill on their land.
Some Amish, traditionalist Christians numbering about 280,000 across the United States, are sitting on prime drilling land in eastern Ohio, but many say the rapid development is encroaching on their pastoral way of life.
Already this year, several oil trucks have been involved in fatal collisions with Amish horse-drawn buggies in the regions narrow and winding roads.
So, many Amish are cashing out to escape the noise as their bucolic landscape of lush green hills becomes dotted with oil storage tanks and rumbles with the buzz of oil rigs.
If all this traffic and development is crazy here today, whats it going to be like in three or four years? Eli Byler, a member of an Amish community in Ohios Guernsey County, said at his farmhouse, his 4-year-old grandson bobbing on his knee.
Byler, who mills walnut timber for furniture, decided earlier in December to sell half of his future oil and natural gas royalties to Flatiron Energy Partners, a private firm that specializes in those transactions.
Flatiron is paying Byler $221,195 cash, an amount that will be tax-free thanks to an arcane part of the U.S. tax code if Byler follows through on plans to relocate his family to Pennsylvania.
Bylers deal is part of a larger wave of companies like Flatiron paying cash up front for oil and natural gas royalty interests, deals these companies hope will provide their clients typically family trusts and other wealth funds guaranteed income for decades in the form of royalty checks.
At least 35 other Amish families plan to sell their royalty rights and make an exodus from the Buckeye State to parts of Pennsylvania or New York state with little or no energy development, said Byler, who plans to sell the full 53.3 acres he owns on the surface, including his homestead, in a separate deal.
Say goodbye to the farm fresh eggs, grass-fed beef, whole grain breads and organic dairy goods. Time to pave paradise and put up a smelly oil rig.

(10,419 posts)I am so sick of Republicans I don't know how I can stand it anymore.
I am non-religious, but I'm getting a growing feeling of good vs. evil in this country.
Ugh. Going to hug my aminals.

(113,316 posts)know exactly what you mean. go hug phyllis and darth, and tell them my furry sends greetings. much nicer to hug them than to think of the evil ones (and yes, I do believe they are evil)

(10,419 posts)The fact that religion had to create Satan and eternal torture to explain the worst in human nature. Then millennia of fighting over religious doctrine.
One book Mr. pig & I read that we thought was really helpful was "The Sociopath Next Door", written by a Harvard psychologist. She said 4% of the population was sociopathic - unable to relate to others as sentient beings. You're the same as a table or chair - strictly something to be used.
You can't negotiate with them or interact in a normal human relationship. You can only avoid.
On a happier note, Phyllis loved her dinner tonight.
