Ohio's oil and gas industry under attack

Here's a copy of the letter mom received yesterday from the guy who handles our natural gas well:

"Dear land owner and royalty owner:

The Ohio oil and natural gas industry needs your help! Extremist environmental groups have set up shop in Ohio. Their goal is to ban or severely limit Ohio oil and natural gas production. They need to be stopped before they damage what is great about our industry!

Some fringe environmental groups continue to contact their state legislators about proposals that would lead to bans on Ohio oil and natural gas production. This means wells, like the one you currently receive benefits from, may be plugged before their time due to dramatic increases in operating costs. Other property owners may not even have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of oil and natural gas production on their property.

To this end, a new website has been created to give royalty owners - those who see the benefits and impacts of Ohio oil and natural gas production - a voice. Safe Ohio Energy (www.safeohioenergy.com) is a website that is designed to be a resource for royalty owners to contact their state legislators and share their stories on the benefits they have experienced from Ohio oil and natural gas wells.

We think that ALL Ohio property owners should continue to enjoy the freedom of having a well drilled on their property, if they choose to do so. If our opponents get their way, drilling wells in Ohio will cease...."


The letter continues on, but the above was the main part. My brother has had free gas heating for over 30 years and mom receives royalties from our well, which helps a lot when you're on a fixed income. Now these freaking morons want to end it for everyone.

Do environmentalist think oil for their cars and gas to heat their homes appears out of nowhere? If these twerps win, a lot of families are going to be hurting who rely on their wells. Not too mention, the number of people who will lose their jobs.

If you live in Ohio, contact our reps and fight for our oil and gas industry.

Nasty stuff.
The agenda to destroy America continues in so many forms.

I wrote and asked our representatives what they expect people who rely on the free gas to heat their homes and need the extra income from royalties to pay bills, etc. are supposed to do. Rely on the government instead?

They'll probably ignore that, but it's true.
