No False Alarm

That was not a false alarm that FWCanDo started sounding in 2005. It just took awhile for tests to prove that gas drilling in the Barnett Shale is dangerous to your health. Now, in 2009, we finally have 4 important pieces of evidence: 

> Dr. Armendariz'/EDF study 
 
 
> Dish, Texas study 
 
 
> Westworth Village, Texas study (see link below and here)
 
 
> TCEQ infra-red videos.
 
 
Air and water baseline studies should have been done by the City of Fort Worth back in 2005 before drilling was allowed, but the city refused. Why? Here's what FW Asst. Attorney, Sarah Fullenwider, said in response to that question by me at a Gas Drilling Task Farce meeting in 2005:

"The State of Texas does not require us to do any studies so we aren't going to be doing any."
