Jim Hightower on Fracking
by Paul Wilson 19 Oct '12

Fracking LiarsSupporters and leaders of the hydraulic fracturing industry aren't being honest about government support for this new natural gas boom. By Jim Hightower <http://www.otherwords.org/about/contributors/1186> [image: Jim Hightower] <http://www.otherwords.org/about/contributors/1186> As they drill for quick corporate profits deep inside our Earth, ExxonMobil, Halliburton, and other titans of the natural gas hydraulic fracturing industry are harming people's health, the environment, and local economies across the country. They're also fracking something essential to a properly functioning democratic society: the truth. They're hailing themselves both as exemplars of free-market success and as the "virtuous ones" in our society — the producers and makers, as contrasted to the mass of Americans that the far-right corporatists are now openly calling "moochers" and "takers." [image: Marcellus Protest/Flickr] Marcellus Protest/Flickr Fracking companies and political front groups are selling the public a self-serving narrative. They claim the current natural gas boom is a victory over those wimpy and undeserving producers of wind and solar power who are dependent on government subsidies to get up and running. The shale gas boom, wrote the oil-and-gas-funded American Enterprise Institute this year, has occurred "away from the greedy grasp of Washington." AEI's laissez-faire fabulists snidely added that "surely Washington would have done something to slow it down, tax it more, or stop it altogether" had the bureaucrats realized that the private enterprise was making such progress. Indeed, crowed an industry PR group, "The free market has worked its magic." Sheesh — their bull goes deeper than their fracking gas wells. For three decades, the federal government has pumped more than $100 million into research for the frackers, finding ways to make the technique work. And, since 1980, the big bad government they now badmouth has paid frackers more than $10 billion in a subsidy written specifically for them. These oil giants are liars, fracking away at their own integrity. -- Paul Wilson Sierra Club 504 Jefferson Ave Charles Town, WV 25414-1130 Phone: 304-725-4360 Cell: 304-279-1361 "There is no forward until you have gone back" ~Buddha "In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous" ~ Aristotle

Among the groups involved are Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Kentucky Riverkeeper and the Appalachian Citizens' Law Center. Eric Chance, a spokesman for Appalachian Voices, says the agreement revolves around false reporting found in state records in 2010 involving pollution coming from dozens of coal mines. "We expected to see lots of violations of permit limits, but we found next to none. Eventually, we began to find entire quarterly reports that were identical to each other except for the date." The mines in question are owned by International Coal Group, which took part in the settlement, and Frasure Creek Mining, which has not. As bad as the record keeping and lax state oversight seemed at first, says Mary Cromer, staff attorney for the Appalachian Citizens' Law Center, it got worse. "Not only had the companies been submitting false reports, they had also had failed to submit any reports at all for many of their facilities. Obviously, the system was broken." KFTC member Ted Withrow says the groups wanted to make sure the settlement addressed three key issues: "A trustworthy third-party independent monitoring program, strong stipulated penalties that will punish future water quality violations, and penalty awards that must be spent in southeastern Kentucky where the violations occurred." In addition to ruling on the settlement, the court will decide whether to impose the original agreement the state Cabinet struck with Frasure Creek. The same judge who allowed the coalition to intervene when the groups claimed the state's enforcement was inadequate must OK the deal before it can take effect.

Fwd: WVNS story: Coal Baron, McKinley Donor Accused Of Breaking Campaign Laws

Va. - One of Congressman David McKinley's biggest backers stands accused of breaking campaign finance laws by pressuring his employees to donate. Last month, coal baron Bob Murray, CEO of Murray Energy, drew fire for forcing his miners to attend a Republican rally without pay. Now a complaint <http://tinyurl.com/9byb8kp> filed with the Federal Election Commission charges that Murray routinely pressured his white-collar workers to give to candidates and his political action committee. The New Republic<http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/108140/coal-miners-donor-mitt-romney-be…>published company fundraising memos, and staff writer Alec MacGillis says they were confirmed by sources inside Murray's mining empire. "They were expected to give. They were expected to give to the PAC, as a deduction from their paycheck. Typically, 1 percent of their pay would go to the PAC. They were also expected to give to Mr. Murray's separate personal fundraisers." MacGillis says his sources were afraid to reveal their names. But he says they and the memos describe relentless fundraising coercion, often including thinly veiled threats. He says his sources also told him that at least some of the money was essentially coming from the company itself, laundered through an employee bonus program. "Their understanding that they got from their superiors was that this would be made up to them. The sense that my sources had was that the discretionary part of the bonus was to some degree dependent on their participating." Campaign finance watchdogs in West Virginia say the charges against Murray are particularly important because of his history. Julie Archer is project manager for the West Virginia Citizen Action Group. She says Murray uses his donations to build political connections, which he in turn uses to fight enforcement of federal environmental and mine-safety laws. She alleges that Murray has threatened Mine Safety and Health Administration officials who were investigating his mines. "What Mr. Murray had done in the past was suggest to employees of MSHA that he had some sway over their boss through his political contributions." Murray has described that accusation as exaggerated. Federal records show Murray Energy is one of McKinley's largest backers, with a dozen employees of the company and its subsidiaries giving to his campaign. McKinley did not return calls requesting comment. An e-mail from Murray Energy called the fundraising "voluntary" and the charges politically motivated, "incorrect and dishonest." The New Republic Article is at www.tnr.com<http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/108140/coal-miners-donor-mitt-romney-be…>. The FEC complaint can be found at tinyurl.com/9byb8kp.

for those of you that are not on the Coal Alerts listserve (or whatever they call it now!). paul ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Orli Cotel <orli.cotel(a)sierraclub.org> Date: Tue, Oct 9, 2012 at 7:21 PM Subject: [Coal Volunteers List] New website and Sierra Magazine story launching on Wednesday: "Cost of Coal" photo series To: #Coal-Volunteers <coal-volunteers-list(a)sierraclub.org> Coal team, I wanted to give you a quick heads up about an exciting project that many folks have been working on for the past few months. Tomorrow morning we'll be announcing a new website called "Cost of Coal," which features powerful photos showing the effects of coal pollution on everyday Americans. The website compliments the "Cost of Coal" cover story and 18-page spread in Sierra Magazine, which should be arriving in mailboxes this week.* (Note: Please wait to tweet or spread the word about this project until after 9:30 eastern on Wednesday morning). * To create this photo spread, we teamed up with award winning photographer Ami Vitale. Ami visited communities in West Virginia, Michigan, and Nevada to follow the life-cycle of coal -- from mountaintop removal mining, to coal burning, to coal ash waste disposal -- and documented compelling stories of families who deal with coal pollution in their daily lives. If we had the resources we would send Ami to every city where we have a coal fight to capture the amazing work you all are doing to move the country off coal. However, we hope that these three regions highlight some of our iconic fights and will get more people interested in joining our campaign, no matter where they are. I've attached the Sierra Magazine story to this email. You'll be able to check out the full website with photo slideshows and videos tomorrow morning at www.sierraclub.org/costofcoal. A big shout out goes to the Sierra Magazine team and our web team for putting this whole project together. Please let me know if you have any questions and we'll send around a link to the press release, blog post and website when they are live on Wednesday morning. Thanks!

Fwd: PATH files for abandonment

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Keryn Newman <stoppath(a)frontiernet.net> Date: Mon, Oct 8, 2012 at 10:48 AM Subject: PATH files for abandonment To: CONS-ELP-TRANS-LINES-FORUM(a)lists.sierraclub.org On Sept. 28, PATH made a filing at FERC to recover $121M in abandoned plant amortized over a 5 year period at 10.9% ROE. This is the first step for PATH in cashing in on the incentive they were granted that enables them to collect 100% of prudently-incurred investment in the project in the event the project is cancelled for reasons beyond PATH's control. The docket number is ER12-2708, and here is a link to the filing: http://www.pjm.com/~/media/documents/ferc/2012-filings/20120928-er12-2708-0… PATH's claim that the cancellation of the project was unforeseen is pretty weak, along with their claims of prudent spending. Some of their statements more closely resemble a creative re-writing of history. PATH has requested that FERC approve the recovery and changes to its Formula Rate without modification, suspension or hearing effective December 1, 2012. If no party objects, FERC may just do that. FERC has set a deadline to intervene, comment, protest PATH's filing of 5 p.m. on October 19. Three parties have already intervened, but none have protested or proffered any evidence of why FERC should not approve the proposal. Several consumers plan to intervene/protest, myself included. In an order granting challenges and complaints on Sept. 20, FERC confirmed that end-use consumers have standing to participate. The ultimate goal at present is to convince FERC to set the matter for settlement/hearing. Only parties who have submitted a timely intervention will be able to participate in settlement/hearing. If you or your organization would like to participate, you need to file by October 19. If you'd like to do so but have questions, I'd be happy to provide more information.

Last week a federal judge ruled the groups don't have the right to sue to have Blair Mountain returned to the National Register of Historic Places. But labor historian Wess Harris says that's just one move in the long second battle of Blair Mountain. "One good way to look at this whole thing of Blair Mountain is as a chess match. Certainly the judge's decision cost us a piece off the board, but we're a long way from checkmate." In 1921 thousands of union coal miners fought with mine guards and company militias on a ridge line bordering Logan County. It was the largest armed uprising in the U.S. since the Civil War. Aracoma Coal, a subsidiary of Alpha Energy, has a permit pending to remove the mountaintop and take out the coal seams underneath. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton ruled that environmental and preservation groups could not sue to have Blair Mountain protected because Alpha's permit hasn't been granted yet. But Sierra Club spokeswoman Kim Teplitzky says the pending permit is enough of a threat. "If this permit is granted, they could commence mining on the battlefield site, and potentially destroy this incredibly important historic place." She says they would act if the state Department of Environmental Protection issues the permit to mine what's known as Piney Branch. "We would definitely act. We are right now weighing our options, and we'll be watching closely to see what happens with this pending permit for Piney Branch." Wess Harris says the state could lose a vital part of its past. "The history's not going to go away, but the opportunity to teach from that mountain does go away. A huge loss. Just another case of our heritage being destroyed." Preservationists say the process of having the site removed from historic protection three years ago was filled with irregularities. The companies that want to strip-mine the area say it's just wilderness, not worth protecting.
