I am a retired physicist and hold a B, S, in Ch. E. as well. I have been an environmental activist since the early 1970s. I have been a writer of opinion pieces and other essays since about 1995. I am an owner of a home with mineral rights in Fort Worth, Texas. I am politically a progressive. As a technical advisor to a select committee of the Philmont Staff Association from 2006-2008 I studied the technology of horizontal gas drilling and the environmental effects associated with it. In Fort Worth I am an activist against urban gas drilling.
