We have the facts to do so; we just have to have the stamina, the people to do it. I had an op-ed in the Charleston Gazette March 30th, April Keating had two there in the past week; rebuttal letters are going to the Huntington Herald-Dispatch paper for an op-ed by a PR person for the industry, and I'm working on a rebuttal to the editorial in the Fairmont paper. The industry is doing this, presumably, to counter the increased resistance to their destructive program and perhaps also because they're desperate to get gas flowing as fast as they can to wherever they expect top dollar, to pay off debts and avoid stranded assets. One thing they're likely lying about is the quantity of reserves. David Hughes has written several reports on this.
