Wanda from Towanda
For all you green energy and clean tech buffs, Natural Gas has a message for you not so fast . Like my man monty09 keeps on telling you guys , natural gas is a force to be reckoned with.
But as evidenced by the story I am about to tell...natural gas is no longer just lining the pockets of traders and large power companies, it is feeding the common man...or woman, in this case.
As a city boy, I really hated being out in Western New York, along a stretch of the old Route 17 (today's U.S. 86) known as the Southern Tier which runs along the northern Pennsylvania border. There was nothing to keep an adrenaline fueled young Midas entertained. Spanning across the old Rust-Belt, this part of the country has been feeling the Recession that's hit all of our pockets recently, for a good thirty years or so.
Ever since the big industrial companies closed down and moved away, this proud, blue collar area has become a haven for welfare recipients, meth addicts and general gloom. Spending time here really sucked. Except for Wanda. From a town called Towanda.
The same town from the article. The hole I knew as a depressed, drunken mess is now blossoming into a modern day frontier town, where work is abundant and hope limitless.
When I knew Wanda she was about the only entertainment in a couple of hundred square miles. We had a blast on her family's farm, engaging in all sorts of semi-legal activity that you will only get to hear about after buying me several rounds at a proper gentleman's club.
We broke up after her dad passed suddenly. She was left a huge piece of land with many expenses to pay. She thought that her life was over and she stopped being fun overnight.
Many people in America today feel the pressure, whether its delinquent bills or too low of a GPA to achieve that dream interview...everyone's problems seem the biggest to them.
I don't know what happened to Wanda. But I do remember the last thing she said to me:
What the hell am I supposed to do with all this damn shale rock?
Not everyone is born on a gold mine. Some people have to dig. Truth be told we all have something in is that makes us rich beyond our wildest dreams.
The real wealth comes from knowing what you have.
Let me take this opportunity to shit all over yours and Wanda's parade:
Might work out great for her, but don't drink the water.
You're welcome.
That's a bit fucked, Why are they allowed to carry this out near water sources? Surely that just retarded
I work in the energy industry and can tell you that Natural Gas is here to stay also. I don't see us getting anywhere without nuclear in the future... For the time being, Natural Gas is our cleanest burning fossil fuel, and the majority of the plats that are being created use NG and some other fuel.
the quicker nuclear power stations are built the better it is. I do not understand the green protest against when its the only viable solution for replacing fossil fuels
Because greens are irrational ideologists, it's like my evangelical friends who use magical thinking and imagine Jesus is everywhere with them. They embrace an irrational belief, they want us to live like we did 300 years ago.

Clearly bias, but methane has been in PA (Marcellus) wells for some time.

Eddie's mad Midas gets more butts than ash trays.
Thanks, dude. That actually made me laugh out loud.
Our nuclear situation is dire. I wrote a blog piece over on quantnet about it.
