Courtesy of the state’s “environmental watchdog.” Only in New York. No other state has a worse record of compelling landowners into gas wells against their wills. None. You’d be better off in Kazakstan. 96% of Norse Energy’s 27 shale gas well permit applications outstanding are non-conforming or incomplete, meaning they will get the State of New York’s “Department of Environmental Conservation” to push some unlucky landowners into their well via compulsory integration - privatized eminent domain for frackers. Then that homeowner gets the “full Norse” treatment of being in a lease against their will. Courtesy of Norse’s fracking accomplices inside the DEC.

In short, they lied. Their employees could not have been individual members of IOGA. Their employees may have represented them but the consulting firms were members - they just denied it when caught. Sometimes they get […]

What a bunch of fracking wussies these New York Frack Babies are. As a Former Fracker myself, I must say I’m more than a bit disappointed. For months now, they’ve been threatening to sue the State of New York for depriving them of all economic use of their land - from the granite bedrock below to the heavens above – claiming that the DEC’s rule making process for shale gas is a “regulatory taking.” What are you waiting for Frack Babies ? Grow a pair (collectively and metaphorically speaking)You’ve passed the hat to raise money for your vapor-suit. Here’s the latest attempt for all the world to see : http://www.scribd.com/doc/137835586/Shale-Shyster-Tries-to-Raise-Money-from-Shale-Suckers You’ve put out a casting call for people to act as if they are “plaintiffs” http://www.nofrackingway.us/2013/03/14/frack-babies-to-sue-cuomo-and-tooth-fairy-for-breach-of-promise/ You’ve studied the relevant case law […]
