Aerial View of Fracking Sites in Dimock, PA

Environmental Advocates of New York's Executive Director Rob Moore and Water & Natural Resources Program Director Katherine Nadeau had the chance to take a plane ride over Dimock, PA recently. They flew over drilling sites and witnessed first-hand the damage hydro-fracking can cause to our communities.

Hmm... how about you fly over every city ever built that cuts down forests and uses mines to harvest minerals, and every strip mall, and every highway, and all the roads you use to get around, and your own city, and house... And oh wait, is that a plane you're flying around in burning fossil fuels? And don't forget all the plastics you use everyday that come from oil by-products. It's easy to complain about this. How about worrying about genocide and plague and disease and hunger? War???

@romoe1212 And what element is that? Where is it going to come from a mine.

[romoe1212]

@STORMLORD70 They just found a way to double output of existing solar power types by adding a common element. China, Italy and the US are making billions of dollars off of solar already. If they gave up like you an American may not have made the discovery.

@HemiHead66 Pavillion Wyoming Ah the water has alway's been bad there if you dare to take time to investigate it and when a water well is drilled there are no inspections so once again water might be drawn from a coal seam and in my state there is alot of water in a coal seam.

@STORMLORD70 Also, why don't ya go look into Rossi's energy catalyzer, his technology is clean, dirt cheap, and could put coal, nat-gas and nuclear plants outta business. But no, those shitbirds in Washington just paved the way to make taxpayers foot the bill for another toxic nuke plant that'll keep us paying out the ass. Don't you think it's time you woke the fuck up? These ass-bags that are running this rock are lying out their ass about everything, and you keep buying into whatever they say.

@STORMLORD70 By the way, the guy that built it has the engine in a line of industrial power generators. It's blows away anything on the market. Look up the MYT engine on the net, I think it's "Penske" or something like that, that has all the info on his products.

[HemiHead66]

@STORMLORD70 It also runs on any kinda fuel, dumb-ass. If those shitbirds in Washington would throw millions at the guy that built it like they throw it at all of their big corp. friends, we'd be using that technology today. Or even if GM or whoever adopted it. But no! Look what the richest man in Russia did after robbing his technology, they have the engine going in a car that'll be built in Germany in 2012, It's called the Yo. So his tech is impressive. The Russian's made theirs less efficient

@HemiHead66 The myt engine wow i have seen it run on compressed air pretty impressive. Wow the Chevy volt has a recall it cost taxpayers 250,000 dollars a car I think you like that you rich fuck.

@romoe1212 Well if solar would work i would say yes but it won't work. Do you know how much it cost to make a house solar power? Is it possible maybe but we are many years away to have it. Well why is Al Gore's whole mansion powered by solar only because it don't work all the time and is way to expensive.

@STORMLORD70

Yes to solar panels, not necessarily on the forest. It has taken a while to identify exact carcinogens and their sources due to a variety of reason but mostly because of corporate interference. This means that we need common sense regulations in place that have 0 tolerance for proven toxins entering your water supply. We all are the problem is exactly right, that does not mean we do not try because it might be hard, it means we figure it out and sell it to the world. GO AMERICA!
