Fracking victims win water

dimanche 4 décembre 2022 à 11:17

A fracking company accepted criminal liability for poisoning the water of Dimock, Pennsylvania and will pay to replace the wells with new water systems and to deliver clean water for the next 75 years.

Here is a timeline of how the company caused the damage, of enforcement efforts, and how the company resisted them.

This is justice in a narrow sense, but it won't clean up the water of that region. It won't undo the lasting diminiution of water supplies in Pennsylvania. There may not be any feasible way to do that.

There must be many other regions of the US which have already suffered similar damage.

We must not allow it to happen in any more places.
