The way this is worded, EQT would get an additional $15,625.00 of the OGM owner's money that it does not deserve.
How can EQT screw you today?
Oil leak in Upshur – Video
Is stuff like this headed toward your creek? Into your drinking water source? BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID. Then do something about it. Vote for people, no matter the party, who will make sure West Virginians are not paying for corporate greed and carelessness with their lives and health, or the beauty of their properties.
West Virginia of Our Dreams
We could be a state of gurgling trout fishing streams, clean swimming holes, and vast nature and hunting preserves. We have so many hiking, biking, riding, and cross-country skiing opportunities that, given this state's natural beauty, we should be a top vacation destination. Plus, we can foster real opportunities that will improve WV in the long term.
Walmart squirter is from WV
Dear JayBee Oil: This shocking incident should illustrate, I hope, that you may not know your employees as well as you think you do. Frankly a lot of us out here are terrorized by gas and oil guys.
WV’s Priority Problem
This year, they've wasted time repealing a film tax credit and looking at increasing the speed limit. Also, they want to open state parks to commercial logging. Are these really the things we want our legislators to prioritize right now?!! Of course not.
Dear Washington Post—With Love, from a West Virginian
Our self-interested politicians repeat industry talking points ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Then, editors, you print those talking points, as if they are somehow truer when they emerge from the mouth of a politician dependent on industry money for his or her job than they are when they come directly from the industry.
Cancer Creek, WV
So keep this in mind: at heart this seems to be a political move on Huffman's part. It's one that benefits us at this time, luckily. But this hasn't changed his mind about Cancer Creek. You're likely to see these proposals again...
Why the WV DEP is failing WVians
They're having a tea party and serving us cups of air, telling us we're not really thirsty. They seem to be more concerned with saying the right things than with doing the right things...
Salting the Earth in WV
A study of frack water's effect on WV forests ended tragically: "Forest Service researchers sprayed more than 80,000 gallons of fracking fluid on a half-acre area of hardwood trees in the Fernow Experimental Forest, a plot within the Monongahela Forest in West Virginia. They immediately observed 'severe damage and mortality of ground vegetation' and, 10 days later, premature leaf drop. Two years after spraying, 56 percent of the large trees were dead."
The Economics of Extraction Debt
No longer do Robber Barons need to plunder villages with swords and arms. With regulatory and/or judicial complicity, the extraction industry can jab a siphon into our veins and drain our lives away. They simply appropriate our air and water, and transform them into wealth for themselves. In essence, Extraction Debt is the modern weapon of corporate pillage. Launch it at a community, and watch the fiscal destruction that follows.
