Why do we now have to wait for the EPA to decide to do a study? Again, I am glad they are doing the study, but I am starting to get really frustrated about how long it takes people to come around to the idea that what is going on is unsafe. When are we going to start thinking for ourselves and being a little faster on the uptake. Sigh. ;) I am glad that there has been so much more attention paid to the problems with the big oil and gas companies, but doesn’t it just seem like common sense that this would be a bad idea?

I'm having a hard time convincing her that gas is NOT good for heating her house. The gas company is seducing her by saying she can heat all her house for the price of heating one radiator which is a blatant lie. On top of that they say she can buy a full gas central heating system on her gas bill to spread out the costs... duh... sometimes its difficult isnt it? Ill be showing my own daughter this post.
