Steubenville, OH Outside the State of the State address hundreds of Ohioans rallied against Governor Kasich’s false energy solution of hydraulic fracturing, which he has called a ‘godsend’ for the economy and paved the way for. The rally highlighted the devastating ecological environmental and public health concerns that are already being felt across the state. Attending were community activists, environmental and labor organizations, and elected officials championing a halt on all fracking.

“John Kasich is selling out Ohio to the Frackers and Wall Street. We will not be silenced. We will not be bought. We are the people. People power not corporate profits.”

Take a second to watch the trailer, it’s pretty compelling. My connection to this project isn’t just about fracking and it’s effects. You see, my mother, my mother’s mother, my grandfather, etc. etc, were born in Potter County. My family has gotten their drinking water from a mountainside spring for a hundred years. And that water was clean and pure for hundreds of years before that.
Now I have to worry about whether or not my children will someday drink from that spring, or if it will become yet another source of flammable drinking water. And I haven’t even begun to consider the seismic implications. See my article on the Fracking earthquakes in Youngstown Ohio for an example of my fears.
Long story short…..
Please, learn about fracking and it’s negative impacts. It is NOT a “clean” energy source, no matter what Big Oil tries to tell us.

Potter County, Pa. (focus of the film) is home to a geological phenomenon called the Triple Divide, one of five widely-recognized in the United States where water drains into three different basins. The headwaters of this Triple Divide are ecological sanctuaries for all things living deep in Appalachia, and provide drinking water for millions of people downstream.
The natural gas industry is tapping the Marcellus Shale in the north eastern U.S., beneath the landscape of Potter, and promising America a new dream of energy independence and economic prosperity. In the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds, this modern-day Gold Rush is filling pockets.
You won’t believe it, ANOTHER earthquake in Northern Ohio. Some reports say a loud BOOM was heard echoing in the valley, and dishes rattled in the cupboards of shaking houses. This is outrageous! “Why?” you ask? Because we should all realize … Continue reading
