Intro let everybody know exactly what is going on here at Ground Zero in dimi dimick population 1400 has become Ground Zero in a national battle over hydraulic fracturing or fracking methane in some of the water wells enough for ignition at the tab what they do is they they What They Do pump the water down the horal pipes right with all the other chemicals with yeah with a witches brew of chemicals that are proprietaries we don't really know what they are the geology starts to crack gas pours out push the water back up all the water comes back up all that poison water it's at the surface where spills and blowouts cause chemically infused water to seep into the water table cuz the whole Contaminated Township is now contaminated as far as I'm concerned it is every place we've been we've been to so far okay is contaminated this town effectively is a desert and it's because there's no clean water available we stopped using the Desert water and we stopped getting sick kids have rashes all over them from taking baths and stuff arsenic barium manganese and glycol compounds I had a lot of physical burning on my skin a private tester found triath glycol I have a hard time talking about Devastation it this is Devastation okay take where we're sitting now Ray does not have usable water usable not drinkable usable we started looking into the community and everyone's got health problems they've got tumors they have cancer they have you know breathing issues from the air being contaminated from these sites we're told by the D when they came in Carbon Monoxide with a wand they waved it next to our faucet they turned on the hot water it was creating carbon monoxide coming out of our faucet so we were leaving the water constantly dripping so the pump was constantly churning so the that you know it was releasing gas but we were likely poisoning her because every morning she was waking up throwing up and once she got us how old were you then from ages 5 to8 so let me get this Water right cabin and Cera contaminate the water right and then the homeowner in order to get fresh water clean water that is not going to kill them they have to go to the company and the company says we'll give you some good water you have to assign a non-disclosure a new Administration tells CBS News there is no evidence in Pennsylvania of fracking ever having contaminated drinking water My Water uh that's actually my water I was Su for the contamination of our water from W Drilling in this area from Cavit oil and there was harm to my family my kids my wife myself my grandchildren are the We Are Not Giving Up eight generation owner of the home that I'm living in right now I want to pass them a house they can actually drink the water and come and visit there's no way to do it here but we're not giving up I tell you right now so if we could get anything out of this is to tell these politicians what are you afraid of the citizens pay for their salary that's the only people that get to buy an elected official if they want to work for the oil and gas industry go get a job with them resign their position and get somebody that stands up for the people right we are you can't buy you can't you're not supposed to be able to buy a politician because we already pay their salary and that's all they get if you don't like it go to work somewhere else one of the large problems with how this Frantic Pace Of Development gas has been developed has been the Frantic pace of development has allowed the gas companies to do this in a way that is sloppy and very dangerous and that's all justified by this idea that we need this gas for our national security and we're doing something that is very fool hearty now which is because of our of the sanctions on Russia and because of the destruction of the northstream pipeline Europe is being forced to buy American Gas the wells which were supposed to the last 50 years we're finding that now they're exhausted they Wan very quickly much more quickly than was predicted by the industry so the gas reserves that we have in this country are actually much less than was originally predicted and we are using them at a frantic Pace at a pace that is not going to help America over the long run it's going to make us dependent in a decade or so on Iranian gas on Russian gas and that's going to put a America at the mercy of the rest of the world
