Even if the state was nothing but scorched earth after oil and gas production things would not change.

They always require more evidence.

good luck in assessing who did it. If there are multiple wells then it will be hard to pinpoint who is responsible and the land owner will probably have to foot the bill to prove who did it. Without some clear cut laws assigning blame the affected party will be looking at years of analysis from expensive experts before there is any hope of recovering something from their loss. The anthracite coal regions of PA are a good model for what happens when the extraction industry gets its way; strip mine wastes and acid mine runoff that the public ultimately winds up paying for.

they can get their greedy hands on...

You want clean water...$20 dollars a gallon bub or drink our frack fluid.

And people used to say in the 70's that you couldnt sell water...its more expensive than gasoline by a factor of 5 or 6

8 pints to a gallon...regular bottle water is 2.80 per pint

8 x 2.80 = $22.40 dollars per gallon...WOW what a racket!

when are people going to say enough?

It's 95 cents a gallon up the street from me.

Not that I disagree about the awful situation and the downfall of civilization...

Thanks for the thread, DonViejo.
