“The right to own property does not convey with it the privilege of harming people, communities or the environment. Law pretending to uphold property rights while empowering corporations or property-owners to destroy community, the environment on which all life depends, or the enjoyment of community and property by others, is illegitimate law.”

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.
