 User Description: Our region is once again invaded by giant energy companies. The attention of the world, long departed, has returned to Northeast Pennsylvania. Have the lessons of 150 years of history taught us nothing? It is like the ghosts of the rail and anthracite cartels have been resurrected, and they have not changed.In the meantime, the public outcry is almost nonexistent.Our roads are jammed with tri axles and tractors hauling water trucks and sand for use in the operations of the Marcellus Shale Drilling. The scale of these projects is immense.Does anyone notice?Through our beautiful valley flows one of the largest rivers in North America. Within 50 miles there are several smaller rivers. Each of these is fed by thousands of tributaries which wind down mountainsides and fall through forests into culverts where the only sound is the ancient song of running water. Anyone who has hiked our mountains knows what it is to taste clean cold water from a deep basin on a hot summer day. These quiet places are among the most rare and beautiful in the world. To reach them, one need only follow any stream into the hills.Should we not be outraged, even panicked, that the fracking and drilling and hauling and piping and dispersal of chemicals pose an immediate threat to the quiet unseen places deep in our mountains? It is too late for our valley, which has long been a black desert within which communities persist like outposts in a wasteland. The water here was long ago tainted. Should drilling fluids decanter centrifuge not take action to protect what remains?Some guy from Dimock made a movie called "Gasland". Everyone in Pennsylvania should watch it He travels and interviews people in Pennsylvania, Texas, Colorado and a bunch of other places as he drives across the country. One shouldn't have to see too many ruined creeks and tap water which ignites to get the idea that fracking will ruin the water in any of the areas it touches.The saddest part of all of this is that any job can be done safely if enough time and resources are put into it. This gas has been in the ground for eons. Coal Tar Separation Centrifuge should be a small matter to wait and do the job right, if it must be done at all.Imagine if that guy from Dimock had a camcorder in about 1880, and traveled through the anthracite region of Northeast Pa. How would he have commented on the piles of culm which were then just getting started? What would he have said about the streams and rivers which were then on their way to eternal defilement?Could it all have been prevented?Probably not. The forces at work to get the coal from the ground were simply too powerful. No one was allowed to voice a contrary opinion. The coal and rail companies hired the Pinkertons and had the Coal and Iron Police simply shoot miners protesting over safety and wages.At present, government leaders who are bound to oversee public safety and the environment are looking the other way, most likely paid to do so. The single most disturbing part of the movie Gasland is how public officials stutter, doublespeak and lie about the potential for harm to the environment.These people have never sought the quiet places and, as a result, do not know how to value them. Only those among us who have will miss them when they are gone.
