On this April Fool's Day, I was going to pull a joke or two, but then I remembered that there are many many who are far more funnier than I am, so I have decided to blog as usual, instead.
In 2011, a report from the United States Geological Survey linked a series of earthquakes in Oklahoma in January 2011 to a fracking operation underway there.
There was no definitive proof, but it seemed likely that tracking was related to those Oklahoma earthquakes.
On November 5, 2011, a 5.7 earthquake struck near Prague,
in central Oklahoma. Fourteen homes were leveled, schools were closed
for repairs, and the quake was felt across 17 states. If it had not been
centered in open country, the effects could have been much worse.
Nevertheless, it worried seismologists, who had believed this area to be
seismically safe.

So Fracking caused earthquakes in Oklahoma, even before causing earthquakes in Ohio, yet our Ohio State Government in all their Republican Wisdom learned nothing from it.

This past year, we upgraded the insulation in our home and added a
new energy-efficient furnace. Although Ohio’s winter wasn’t that harsh,
with temperatures similar to those in 2011 and 2012, I was interested to
see what these changes would mean for our wallet. Since our home has a
newly improved seal from outside weather, we knew we wouldn’t be wasting
the energy we’d previously paid for. It goes without saying that the less energy we waste, the less energy we pay. In these uncertain economic times, it makes sense to increase efficiency...Read More.
Yes, we in Ohio do need to do more for our environment.
Public lands in Wyoming and Utah
embody the unrestrained beauty of American wilderness. Thanks to the
effort of conservationists and activists, including thousands from the
Care2 community, public lands in these two states are now better
protected against the pollution of the oil and gas industry....Read More.
Well, this is a good start, but only a start, since much land is privately own. The question is does one land owner have the right to pollute his own and all neighbors' ground water??
In today’s dog-eat-dog economic system, people want the facts. They want
to see the math, and ultimately, they want to know how it affects their
personal lives. Because if you can’t show someone how pollution or
climate change affects their health or wallet, they’re not likely to
care. Read More and Watch Video, I hope.
