From the Front Lines: Dimock Water Good Enough for Residents to Drink; Not Good Enough for EPA Officials to Drink (Video)

February 19, 2013

Editors Note: In our latest installment of Jay Wilcox’s “From the Front Lines” we bring you Ray Kimble from Dimock PA.  Ray Kimble is a resident in Shale Country, former truck driver for the natural gas industry, signed a lease, had his well water contaminated by Range Resources and is now an outspoken activist against the industry.  In the video, Ray is a straight talker and uses “colorful language”  to explain his meetings with toxicologists and EPA officials.  Ray and others were told that his water was safe to drink by these officials, so he decided to offer them a swig of some good ol’ Dimock Pale Ale.  When seeing the color of his well water, the toxicologist and EPA official declined to drink the water.  We’ll leave it here and let you watch the rest of the video.

 You have to wonder whether Sunbury mayor, Dave Persing, really has any very good idea—or even a glimmer of moral compass—about what might be involved in the Clean Harbors construction of a Marcellus Shale Waste Processing Facility smack-dab in the middle of that small city. Planned for the long-idled and stunning eyesore, the Knight-Celotex...

Why Philosophy Matters to Fracking: The Past is the Future Long ago the foresightful German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche argued that human beings were the sorts of creatures who, in the quest to advance their own self-aggrandizing interests, were compelled to forget acts of violence willingly committed to those ends. And not only acts of...

The Marcellus Shale Reality Tour: Black Water In the Marcellus

By

February 2, 2013

The Marcellus Shale Reality Tour comes to us by way of Scott Cannon of Luzerne County, PA Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition.   In March 2012, Scott got in touch with us to see if the Raging Chicken Press would be interested in running his videos. The work that Scott and others in the Shale Country are doing is invaluable in building networks and communities of resistance against the Gas Industry in Pennsylvania and beyond.   In his latest episode, Scott points out that water in parts of the Marcellus is turning black.  Most likely to industry actions.  If we want to build and maintain these networks of resistance, it is work like Scott’s that will help maintain them.
