Watch on Blip video of Dec 2011 meeting with slide presentation (Unable to embed video from Wetzel County WV at this blog.But click http://blip.tv/actv23/fracking-wetzel-12-1-11-5821151 to watch the 1.5 hour presentation.)
Some quotes:
"We were videotaping and there were accidents every day," says Rose Baker as she shows the slides.
Where Baker lives in rural WV, "we wake up in the morning, we hear the birds, we hear nature. That's all gone now."
Now there's 1800 trucks a day on roads where there were often no cars at all for hours.
"Once you sign a lease, it's a broad contract. They can come back next year and take more gas and not pay you. If you allow them in, you have to watch every little detail."
You can see natural gas wells from planes flying overhead, 24-hour lights in the rural region with no towns for miles around.
The natural gas fracking wells are massive.
