In the beginning of the shale gas boom the public was led to believe that this gas would go directly into our homes. It was all about flag waving and America's energy independence. Do you recall any industry reps explaining at these signing parties how this gas would eventually be exported to foreign countries? We don't. Our residential communities are now heavy industrial mining zones. Tears!

Now imagine the massive gas pipeline infrastructure that has recently been added to accommodate the industry's needs. This raw gas flowing through these much larger lines is NOT odorized ~ and it's beneath our feet ~ next to our homes ~ next to our schools ~ everyday ~ unseen.Fish Creek Neighborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11321914266332394403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364673723029953824.post-50538530249344692382013-09-16T20:36:13.976-05:002013-09-16T20:36:13.976-05:00The Title of that press release is: Railroad Commi...The Title of that press release is: Railroad Commission to Participate in Fort Worth Pipeline Safety Meetings April 28-29. Interestingly, I have experience with digging that results in a gas pipeline leak. About 3 months ago, AT&T was in our area hand digging holes for U-verse. The two workmen struck a natural gas line. Immediately a loud hissing noise and smelly cloud began spewing from the line. They immediately called the gas company, who sent out a repair crew. Within minutes, I could smell the gas at my house about 180 feet away.

A representative from the Austin office even went so far as to say that this type of incident is impossible! Granted, this happened three years ago, but surely, there must be a record of this.<br /><br />The open records request through the City of Arlington came up with nothing. How does something like this happen in the middle of a neighborhood, yet no one knows anything? Maybe they are all under a gag order.

The last time I spoke with her she was trying to move away and was getting bloodwork on the baby. I gave former City Councilman, Gene Patrick, (d-RIP) the address and phone number and visited him in person to ask him to contact her. He looked him straight in the eyes while he assured me he would call her and follow up....he’s dead now...hope he’s their guardian angel now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364673723029953824.post-18390782505111737042013-09-14T15:54:17.679-05:002013-09-14T15:54:17.679-05:00Here's good reason XTO should be banned from o...Here's good reason XTO should be banned from operating in your city:<br /> <br /><a href="http://www.star-telegram.com/2013/09/11/5153530/xto-energy-hit-with-criminal-charges.html" rel="nofollow">XTO Energy Hit with Criminal Charges in Pennsylvania Spill</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
