I have rouble seeing how these are INDUSTRY issues. They're all about inadequate REGULATION, not industry misdeeds, except for the truck traffic.
I don't plan to picket, but do plan to be inside to counter any obvious industry misinformation. A more visible protest would only be useful if it got widespread attention, and I am not sure that any local political leaders will be present.Key messages:Lack of air pollution controlHaliburton exemptions for Safe Drinking Water Act, RCRA, etc.Surface owner rightsTruck trafficLack of DEP inspectorsTomblin's weak Marcellus billTax Breaks for industryetc.If we were to picket, I'm not clear what the basis would be. I.e. because of what re the industry?
