Of course, all the gas and oil companies aren’t putting money into it with the expectation of no benefit. The law is loosely drawn, intended for charitable and educational purposes, the kind of thing that helps society. The fact of using it for disinformation, and profit is not unusual, I’m sure. Maybe it is hard to write those things out, maybe it is intended. Nominally, yes. Of course, all the gas and oil companies aren’t putting money into it with the expectation of no benefit.

I would argue that a public relations component was intended from the start. After a few years of "working in the field", Shep was able to take what he learned about local community attitudes about land use from this work, use that knowledge to inform and design the media strategy, and then implement. He reminds me of a "counter intelligence officer." Maybe that's being paranoid. But, being paranoid is not that unusual in our society. “When shale drilling began… the industry was in trouble…The answer they chose was PR, public relations.”

This is just an attempt to say it is ok to destroy the water, air, and land as long as certian people make money. I have many years in industry and EVERY DAY I SEE DAMAGES TO ENVIRONMENT. The key is to educate yourself, go look at these wonderful holes in the ground spewing toxins and radiation into our environment. Ask how much freshwater is mixed with chemicals and put under extreme pressures to fracture the formation deep below. Ask why there has been so many sick people in and around areas of concentrated drilling. Ask why when there was a 2100 gallon spill of ''low toxicity'' drill fluid into stream, the operator was taking bottled water to people in area. What were they worried about? These statements above show an intent to decieve at best, do you want to be the next victim? Lets educate ourselves and not trust something that doesnt set well with us. When it sounds unbelievable it usually is. It is obvious that this is just propaganda and I give it a no merrit what so ever.
