Asthma and the Barnett Shale

Sobering is right. This is huge.
When 25% of 8 and 9 year-old kids who live in the Barnett Shale have asthma you have a big problem. The state average in Texas is only 7.1%.
Maybe it's time to consider a link between increased NG drilling and asthma.
Read the Star-Telegram report:
Meanwhile, as children and adults suffer from the impacts of natural gas drilling, members of the Fort Worth City Council join Mayor Moncrief in a celebration of gas drilling with XTO owner, Bob Simpson.
There is not enough shame in hell to go around for this disgusting display of arrogance.
