In Kentucky we used these secondary recovery techniques, e.g. hydrofracking, to recover oil from 1955 to 1987. In 1988, a steel pipe tripped a Geiger counter at a scrapyard and our radioactive nightmare began. We have been trying to get Ashland Oil to clean up their mess since then with limited success. These oil and gas production companies try to privatize the profits and socialize the cleanup costs. Be careful dealing with them.
I'd like to put together a database of legislators and newspapers to write to, petitions to sign, and any other calls-to-action to stop the invasion of the gas-industry into NY State.
If you have a link to any of the above, or any suggestions, please send them to me. I will try to put them in a database so we can have a central place where people can go when the want to know what specific actions they can take.
