The time for a revolution is near…. Politicians are representing corporations and the corporations are making laws. THe time is near… put down your bible and read your constitution. f 911, f the patriot act, f tsa, f the obamas and bush’s, f homeland security, and f marcellus!

Wow, never listened to or heard of Mike Pintek’s show before, but was interested to hear the discussion about Marcellus shale drilling. All I really got out of this was that the host is an uninformed, anti-science, reactionary blowhard who barely allows his guest to answer questions. Kudos to David Meieran for maintaining his calm and answering Pintek’s questions and dismissive comments with calm, knowledgeable, and well-reasoned arguments.

Fracking is an immediate danger to our state. We need a ban–now.

and what about the fracking that’s been going on for over 100 years. sara, you uniformed arse! EVERYTHING in life has risks and accidents happen. Do our best to make sure they don’t and be prepared if they do.

If you support an extraction tax, expect you bill to reflect it…IT”S THE LAW. Read up on the PA PUC website regardign the Gas Cost Rate.

And then, do we charge farmers to extract milk? Miners to extract coal? NOPE, just Marsellus, because there is so much of it. Don’t own the mineral rights, so what right do you have to profit?

Really, the only question I would have, if they wanted to drill on my land is ‘What’s in it for me?”. There have always been and always will be environmental issues passed from one generation to the next. It’s a regulated industry and it all depends on who you listen to/believe whether it actually presents a REAL issue or just a MAKE BELIEVE issue in some tree-huggers mind! Frack me baby!

Lots of people have gotten ill, nearly died from natural gas poisoning since it’s beginnings. It’s deadly methane mixed with poisonous toxins. http://www.alkalizeforhealth.net/Lnaturalgas.htm

butterbrain – I’ve work with natural gas for 32+ years. It is NOT qa toxin. it is flammable and will displace oxygen…that’s it.
