“I am not against fracking, I am against irresponsibility”
A regular reader of this column asked me why I never point out good things going on in eastern Ohio’s oil and natural-gas industry. Another asked, based on things I have written, did I think the industry can succeed in Ohio? To both, I quickly referred to a couple of versions of “Mike on Frack” that promoted the jobs added by this industry referencing data supplied by the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber. I also have touted the number of workers brought to this area in trucking and drilling operations, ancillary services such as food and fuel and, of course, the V&M expansion.
