We are at a time when we as a society have to make some choices. The evidence is back so to speak, that the reckless pursuit of hydrocarbons has us on a path of environmental disaster. To just set back and hope something changes and to say ignorance is bliss would and will be devastating to say the very least. As days pass, more and more people in rural areas will become sick. The land, air, water will have concentrated levels of toxicity. The energy companies will deny, deny, deny. Only to say that anybody that challenge them is irrational and out to sabotage the economy. We must unite on an environmental front, educate as much as possible before we continue to allow them to pull rigs up in the fields and do what they want. Tar sands, Marcellus, Utica, Haynesville, etc, they all come at a very high price. We all pay it and they collect the profits.
