just call your physical body your spirit.

it isn't called reality for no reason. it's real. reality is god. the universe. Allah. Jehovah.
-
god told me to tell the owners they have two days to halt all fracking worldwide. two. he will then punish all owners accordingly. he told me to tell them they have no choice.

Court proceedings are slow and biased. lawsuits are not a fix. protests don't work. I suggest the alternative.
-
I live in this township. please somebody get me out! I cant take it. 9/11 was traumatic. This is worse! The government is owned here!
-
No, this can't be real. California has strict gun control laws, so that couldn't have really happened.
And the borders are secure so that can't be terrorist that snuck across with Fast and Furious guns either. -
Withold taxes. -
These people are so stupid, compressor stations have always been built in PA to pressurize pipelines to move product.

Wow, Brian Snyder? Making a statement on Fracking/compressors stations? I thought PASA's position was no position! Last quote from him I knew of was in Gas Rush stories. No one even mentions the BTex gases blown off that thing in addition to the VOC's, PM, and god only knows what else. Look it up on Youtube, there are Flir Camera images of the gases given off. And that is not even the most dangerous part! Those things explode and "have events" all the time. http://www.nofrackingway.us/2014/06/18/gas-compressor-stations-dont-make-great-neighbors/

I think we all know where this is going to go.
-
and I'd much rather have a non polluting, energy producing windmill in my back yard than a compression station that could leak deadly toxins and create high truck traffic! wake up! read and find the facts! know the truth!
-
They better not build that station, they are going to have trouble on their hands. the citizens of the township made their statements and opinions clear! no one that lives there wants that station built!
-
Solid video and it is so very refreshing to see some resistance. This Industry fears a well educated, well informed and well fed public standing united. Fracking was so 2012 onto renewable energies.
-
Great video! Thanks... Sharing with friends in NY who have no idea what fracking will bring here.

The compressor station is essential to moving natural gas from wells to businesses and power plants. If people don't let a simple compressor station be built. There's no why we"ll ever have wind and solar farms. Because assholes like this will say not in my backyard and complain the eyesore.
