News: Fracking Expansion, per Corporate Crime Reporter, West Virginia

.
From CORPORATE CRIME REPORTER Morgan County USA.


Baker is one of ten brothers and sisters. She grew up with her family in Wetzel County. Her father was self-employed – he farmed and timbered his land.
“Now, things are different,” Baker says.
Baker can’t drink her well water. It’s polluted from the fracking. Her sister-in-law can’t drink her water or use the water to shower.
It too is polluted from fracking.
“Truck traffic is horrible.”
“We have a small farm here. We never used to hear any sort of noise. Now, you step outside and you hear the truck traffic. You hear the gas wells being flared. The flaring sounds like a jet engine. You hear the constant roar of diesel engines from these compressor stations. You smell the gas.”
