West Virginia media outlets are focusing in this morning
on a report out of Oklahoma about Chesapeake Energy facing a criminal
investigation of Clean Water Act violations at some of its operations here in
West Virginia.
Also:
"Much of what (Aubrey)
McClendon says is misleading – wind power is as cheap as gas in some places and
falling fast, and cutting back on gas doesn’t have to mean burning more
coal.", says Jeff Goodell, writing in rolling Stone.
This is
the same Aubrey McClendon who threw a hissy fit and cancelled plans for a
regional Chesapeake Energy headquarters near Charleston because a Roane County
jury returned a multi-million dollar verdict against Chesapeake after it
swindled West Virginia mineral owners out of tens of million$ in royalty
payments.
