Arkansas Earthquakes Awaken Citizens! Another Letter From A Citizen!! 12 Benefits of a Shale Play! Good Advice!!!

12 BENEFITS OF A SHALE PLAY(from a residents point of view)

#1 Your roads will be destroyed because they were not built well enough, but they will pay to“Make them better”. Wait, they can’t afford that: you pay for it.

#2 Your traffic and noise will increase ten fold, especially in the middle of the night and weekends.

#3 Your view outside will transform into beautiful black pads, as you enjoy the smell of diesel fuel, and as they burn off all the debris you can pretend you are camping in your house. (Get the marshmallows)

#4 Your house will go through a “Shakedown” as they drill through the bedrock. (Preparing You for benefit #10)

#5 You will be “Blessed” with the noise of drilling, pipes clanging, stadium like lighting, air pollution and lots of traffic as they get these wells on line. (Bonus: Litter and recyclables on all the roadways)

#6 You will get to enjoy the metal taste in your mouth, unexplained rashes, headaches, bodyaches, oil film on your windows as they burn off the well for production. (N/C for the acid rain)

#7 Your water supply may change for an unexplained reason, if you can light it on fire, it is probably from fireworks not them.

#8 Your water pressure may change as they use the next 20 years of your supply, but they will add Chemicals to it that cause cancer and inject it back into the ground for your grandchildren.

#9 They will re-seed and plant trees around the black pads, put a compressor on it, then house that compressor with a building and point the open end right at your house for you to enjoy the noise till the well runs dry. ( no more pesty cicadas and peepers to hear)

#10 As they remove the gas to sell, at a slight profit, to foreign countries, they might provide you with earthquakes 24/7 to enjoy, as the best place to get their product is around active faults.

#11 You will experience an increase at local business’s, especially fuel stations, to do all of the above, as they don’t use their own product on equipment to get the product, leaving more to sell.

#12 You may experience a devaluation of your homes worth, change in your health and lifestyle from all of the above, but it is way worth it. You should get that constant ringing in your ears checked.
