SRBC: Inappropriate Conduct?

  
Leave it to the Sentinel to ferret out the information in his latest post. Based upon my observations over the past few years, this guy:

• hardly sleeps
• is freakin' relentless in his opposition to fracking
• knows more about the environmental "big picture" than most of the local experts combined
• has connections I can't even fathom and that he will never disclose
• will never give up
• and, unfortunately, will probably end up like Karen Silkwood

Can't remember who it was, but someone recently called him a "one man wrecking crew" or something similar. I think that assessment falls a little short. If this guy did his environmental thing full-time, I have zero doubt we would all be in a different place right now.

Too bad.

Getting back to his latest post, I find it interesting that the Susquehanna River Basin Commission chose to change the language on their meeting notice  - with a week to go and little fanfare - to include the term "inappropriate conduct", because these are the same people that are approving just about every water withdrawal application submitted by the natural gas industry or just about anyone else wanting to jump on the Marcellus $hale bandwagon.

Considering the SRBC is facilitating the latest and perhaps greatest environmental rape of the Susquehanna's watershed, who are they to establish standards of  "appropriate conduct"?

I cannot wait for Thursday morning. Freedom of Speech will NEVER be more evident than at that place on that day.

Glory be.




 

Show Me the Way

     
I don't know about you, but my view on the anti-fracking activism out there is that it's too fragmented and, in many cases, groups are working against each other. As someone I spoke with yesterday said in so many words; "I wanna say something, I just don't know what to say."

That person should join the group over at EID Marcellus. They'd fit right in.

I'm hearing some heavy hitters are coming to the SRBC meeting next Thursday in Wilkes-Barre. Should be an interesting public hearing. Hope you can make it.




  

Streams of (Un)Consciousness

     
For those that question the purpose or validity of this blog, please take a minute to read this post from May 2010.

After you get through your "Holy S*%#!" moment - provided you have one - you'll realize I wrote it over three months before the Susquehanna was found bubbling in Bradford County in early September 2010. Still think I have nothing worthwhile to offer?

I've finally finished helping my flooded-out friends as much as I can, and after taking a few days off for some much needed R&R, I'm gonna fire up the 8-track and get busier in bloggerdom. I hope you'll stop by from time to time.

For the unaware, the Susquehanna River Basin Commission is having their next quarterly meeting in Wilkes-Barre on December 15th. This group is responsible for the "hydro" in hydrofracturing, and I plan to give them a piece of my well-preserved mind during the public hearing.

I hope someone films the show.

Not my usual musical offering, but this song certainly strikes more than a few chords.

EID Marcellus: From Trucksville to Turbotville to -

          

I received an email yesterday from one of our fellow bloggers. Although I've followed their posts for at least a year, and have them on my blogroll, I never had any direct dealings with them. 

They sent me a list of ISP addresses and other data, and gave a very short background narrative on where the information came from and what it represented. They ended the message with: "Save this for the days ahead."

  

Seems some gas industry shills recently got suckered into exposing their network of contacts by falling all over a very cleverly-parsed post which basically said nothing. I remember reading the post, but it seems to have disappeared along with all their prior offerings except one which, true to their style, says almost nothing but pegs the mental "wow" meter nonetheless.

For the days ahead indeed.
