From Calvin Tillman, Mayor, DISH, Texas, recent media reports on air quality:
Cancer-causing toxin found in air near gas facilities
State says more tests needed to assess cancer risk
Scientists call for more Dish air studies
Food for thought:
- Is this what we want here?
- On what basis doe the DEC’s draft Supplemental Generic Impact Statement base its claim that air quality isn’t going to be much of an issue in NYS?
- Natural gas accounts for about 24% of electricity generation in the US. What’s our individual responsibility to people living with the effects of natural gas extraction and transmission, no matter where it’s happening?
It’s past time for a real change.

ages, however, for the tens of thousands of North Texans who now live near gas wells and their attendant gathering stations, compressors, and pipelines were those captured in a short YouTube video put together by [Don] Young and [Sharon] Wilson from footage taken by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The state agency film was made as part of an ongoing TCEQ program to identify hydrocarbons escaping into the air from gas wells and other industrial sites around the state. Young learned of the filming program and requested and obtained copies.
