In reply to the discussion: Fracking Issues - NOT restricted to PA, but very relevant to all states with this problem. [View all]kooljerk666
(776 posts)I was born in 61 so bucks was still rural when i was growing up.
Had lots of fun almost drowning in the Delaware River several times.
The threat of poison & destruction coming to the richest areas of PA may actually be a godsend.
The GOPers in the 5 county Philly area are where most of the Gop Cash is stashed & if everything they worked for there entire lives is put under threat, there may be more resistance to this horrible situation.
With the droughts out west probably being permanent, Iowa, Nebraska & Kansas may turn into Nevada & people in Pennsylvania may need all the water & land it can use for food production.
I have a m/c and my weekend rides were in the rural areas of PA buying food, gas, and other consumables. Now I will not go into the mountains or spend any money in PA. The people who depend on tourism & hunting are gonna be put out of business forever. Not from me, but from anyone who does not want poisoned deer meat, poisoned fish, or being flattened by a semi tractor trailer on a dirt road.
US Route 6 was considered one of the nicest roads in the country, now between the Susquehanna & Delaware rivers it is loaded with trucks hauling water & bulldozer like crapola.
BTW it is legal to take any well water no matter how bad & serve it to anyone. I met a lawyer who is head of GE asbestos litigation team & had him look at PA's "doctor cant tell u if u have well water poisoning" and he was so stunned he said "I have something to read on the plane back to Texas".
Basically any nut of any political stripe can filter contaminated well water to make it look safe & serve it up to people they hate & IT IS LEGAL!!!!!
I am trying to figure out a way to scare Cocal Cola & others that allowing fracking in PA will destroy there brands & put them into conflict with the gas industry.
