There's a powerful push to build a huge petrochemical (fracking) hub in the Appalachian Mountains straddling 4 states: a hub so big as to rival the Gulf-Coast industrial corridor ("Cancer Alley") in TX and LA, exploiting the Marcellus and Utica Shale Basins and Rogersville field, impacting the Ohio R. for 886 miles from PA to KY. 

China Energy Investment Corp has made a "memorium of understanding" (MOU) with Appalachian Development Group (West Virginia) to invest $83.7 billion into the project. 

W. VA "bought" politicians have thrown these states under the bus to the industry.  Delaware, long implicated in LLC shell games, is a corporate tax haven for these fossil fuel LLCs. They're all "thick as thieves" in the collusion of destruction. Please read and share.

I'm tired of seeing America eroded by corporate neo- fascists, and tired of watching the gift of life on this miraculous planet be exploited and destroyed for greed, wealth and power for the few.

The idea of looking at what we can do to benefit, protect, and steward this earth for the next seven generations, speaks deeply to me. No matter how many "bad news" stories are out there, no matter how hopeless things seem, what else can we do except to stand for them - the next 7 generations, and all the non-human life forms that deserve a chance to keep living?
