Tax the industry to protect the environment from which they are extracting their gas. If you don't like this approach, take a trip through Shamokin or Centralia to see what extractive industries leave behind.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2163892691426018772-7966405322117861970?l=thecannonhole.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Orconecteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11228391267629241660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163892691426018772.post-26388184385586308702010-02-23T07:33:00.003-05:002010-02-23T07:42:47.617-05:002010-02-23T07:42:47.617-05:00Note that the post <em>doesn't</em> read Frack Water, which is what the industry has successfully named it! <br /><br />The Safe Water Drinking Act requires drillers to obtain a permit to use diesel fuel in a mixture of water, brine and sand that they inject into the ground in the fracking process. <strong><em>However</em></strong>, diesel is the only substance for which drillers must seek a permit: <a href="http://www.ewg.org/files/EWG-2009drillingaroundthelaw.pdf">http://www.ewg.org/files/EWG-2009drillingaroundthelaw.pdf</a><br /><br />It's not water folks. Let's change this label so we can debate it with more teeth.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2163892691426018772-2638818438558630870?l=thecannonhole.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Orconecteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11228391267629241660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163892691426018772.post-15942318808761680682009-02-19T20:51:00.001-05:002009-02-19T20:56:16.106-05:002009-02-19T20:56:16.106-05:00The funny thing about this <a href="http://www.watertechonline.com/news.asp?N_ID=71358">story</a> is that the state has already permitted hundreds of wells. Listen, we heat our house with gas. I have no objections to drilling for it close to home. However, the process has to work so that we have a place to live once the gas is gone.
