Some Fear Possible Violence as NEXUS Pipeline Surveyors Go About Their Work

By -
From the Medina Gazette:
A project manager for the proposed NEXUS Gas Transmission pipeline has sent letters to Medina County property owners, informing them that, as of today, NEXUS-employed surveyors may enter their property without permission. 
“We hope you understand that the planned near-term activities must be conducted without delay in order to meet our schedule requirement and that our preference is to cooperate with you by requesting permission for access,” reads a copy of the letter obtained by The Gazette. 
“However, if you have not granted such permission to NEXUS by May 1, so that the survey activities can be coordinated to provide you with advanced notice, you should be aware that NEXUS may enter your property as provided for in Ohio Revised Code Sections 163.03 and 1723.01 to perform the necessary survey activities.”
From that same article comes this:
Walter Giebeler, a York Township resident, has made it clear that NEXUS officials are not welcome on his property. He and his wife, Verna, have put up “No Trespassing” signs on their property with symbols of guns to warn NEXUS surveyors. 
“I used to be a gun collector, but I do have some really neat weapons that look kind of mean; and if they come on my property, I would walk straight up to the NEXUS guys with those in my hand,” he said. “First, I would make sure they know that it is dangerous for them to come on my property, and while I’m doing that, my wife probably would call the sheriff.” 
Giebeler said he’s approaching 80 years old and has no intention of giving in to NEXUS.
“Even if I end up in prison, I’m not going to give one foot of my property away,” he said. “I don’t make it secret about how I feel about it. My wife and I are running out of patience.”

Fracktivist in Dimock Releases Carefully Edited Video, Refuses to Release the Rest

From Energy in Depth: There is something very strange going on along Carter Road, in Dimock, Pennsylvania, and I’m not speaking of natural gas, methane migration, contamination, litigation or even the extensive water testing there by the EPA and others.  No, I’m talking about a new “Watergate” conspiracy, complete with 18 minutes of missing tape (well, video, actually). It seems the ever-present Green Party member and  naturist   Vera Scroggins  (a/k/a  Vera Duerga ) has posted a video of Craig Sautner meeting with the EPA.  Mysteriously, the video is but 14 seconds in length, cutting off conversation in what is obviously mid-stream.  It raises a question Craig Sautner, like  Ronald Reagan in Kings Row , might have asked, “Where’s the rest of me?’  Carter Road, isn’t Kings Row, of course, (at least not until you arrive at  the mansion Scott Ely, one of the Dimock litigants, is building with his royalty money ), but there appears to be...

The Second Largest Oil and Gas Merger - Cabot and Cimarex

       Due to investor pressure, the U.S shale drillers are being pushed to improve financial and operational performance after a few years of poor returns. Even though the industry has improved its numbers, when compared to last year, investors still want more to be done for them to earn more money.      That's why two mid-tier shale drillers, Cabot and Climarex, have decided to merge in order to eliminate $100 million in annual costs, which means more money for the investors. This all-stock transaction is valued at about $7.4 billion, which is relatively high for the oil and gas sector.      The new entity will be renamed and the headquarters located in Houston, Texas. Cabot shareholders will own 49.5 percent of the new entity, and Climarex the rest.       The Cimarex-Cabot merger will address the investor's demand for a higher amount of returning cash. The initial plan is to pay a 50-cent-per-share special dividen...

Do You Know The History of Fracking?

By -

  In 2018, 59% of total oil production in the U.S came from hydraulic fracking, which means it accounted for more than two-thirds of domestically manufactured gas. By 2024, fracking will reach an astounding $68 billion market value! Of course, fracking is not a new drilling method as you can trace it back hundreds of years. That's why we want to consider the history of hydraulic fracturing (fracking). We will be stating historical facts about it and focusing on the major historical occurrences that have influenced modern-day fracking. Pre-Fracking Days The idea of fracking started back in 1862 when Edward A.L. Roberts (Civil War veteran) witnessed Confederate soldiers exploding artillery rounds into a canal that obstructed a battlefield. At the time, Edward A.L. Roberts called it superincumbent fluid tamping. On April 26th, 1865, Edward A.L. Roberts began experimenting with exploding torpedoes, which consisted of lowering a torpedo containing an amount of powder from fifteen to tw...
