I drink the water... It is lovely. The problem with the poorly built castings got the little 1,500 hamlet a $4.1 million settlement, and new regulations enacted. All is now well (pun intended) now and Cabot resumed fracking at several of the existing wells in Dimock because the EPA determined fracking did not cause the methane contamination.

But do not fear, our new Governor is planning on driving fracking operations out of Pennsylvania with excessive new taxes, and cause our unemployment to jump dramatically. He also plans on increasing our sales and income taxes. Everyone is going... WTF? I tell them we deserve what we get for not taking the time to listen to what he promised in the election.
Well, I won't hijack this further, people can read about this topic for themselves. Reading which will not support what you're saying about the EPA. They didn't determine that at all nor were they testing for that. They determined the water could be filtered cheaper than brought in from outside. That was all. The fact it NEEDS to be filtered AFTER that stuff started is pretty clear evidence of what caused it.

Back to Peeps...

My friend's diorama didn't make it past the 2nd round of the "Peeples Choice" vote. But the good news is that he's one of 5 finalists for the judged portion. Interestingly, the 5 the judges picked have already been eliminated in the people's choice contest!
I thought it was pretty cool. It only lacked perhaps a Peeps take on Booth's words. Maybe "Sic Peeper Tyrannis"? :)
