From the Front Lines: Wyalusing Frack Sand (Video)

January 27, 2013

Editor’s Note: All around the Marcellus Shale Country where mainstream and local media coverage has been lacking, citizens are generating their own media throughout the region. They are reporting on what is occurring in Shale Country on a regular basis, and are now distributing their content through the netroots. Jay Wilcox from Urban Disaster Records has been travelling around the Marcellus Shale region and has been collecting personal stories from those affected by frack. If there is one tactic that can harm the industry, it is the sharing of knowledge and stories that can bring them down, and we are glad to help facilitate this process.

VIDEO: Benzene Emissions Found at Barnett Shale Compressor Station

By Sean Kitchen

January 17, 2013

On January 12, Sharon Wilson, blogger and watchdog known as “Texas Sharon” in the fracktivist community, reported that benzene emissions were discovered at a Chesapeake Energy compressor station in Fort Worth, Texas. Last fall, Shale Test – a Texas based environmental organization – went to the Hudson Delga Compressor in Fort Worth and recorded the emissions with a FLIR camera. The station in question is emitting benzene yards from a playground. According to the CDC, short term benzene exposure can cause irregular heartbeat, trouble breather, dizziness, and the possibility of death. Long term exposure to the VOC can weaken bone marrow, cause leukemia, low birth weights and delayed bone marrow growth.

January 11, 2013

What’s most striking about Energy in Death’s Joe Massaro’s latest hit-piece, Corbett’s Corner Hears From Local Natural Gas Fractivists | Energy In Depth – Northeast Marcellus Initiative is that he writes as if he’s all ready for the backlash his patently absurd essay would naturally receive—but he knows he’ll have to deal with no such thing....
