| Barnesville, Ohio, America - it's being sued for its water. |
he world’s addiction
to energy, particularly created from fossil fuels, has distorted and corrupted
human values.
Water is an essential ingredient in the modern search for
gas and oil, known as “fracking”, that our addictions to the subsequent energy
drive decency out of the conversation and actions.
However, it is simply the energy we seek, or the lifestyles that
result from the riches the energy brings?
The perverseness of our values is illustrated through a
story on ClimateProgress that tells how a fracking company is acting against a
small American town for its water.
The story - “A $600-Million Fracking Company Just Sued ThisTiny Ohio Town For Its Water” – tells us that a tiny town in eastern Ohio is
being sued by an Oklahoma-based oil and gas company that bought more than 180
million gallons of water from the town last year.
