Rest in Peace, my Friend

Fracktivist Carl Stiles, of Bradford County, PA, died last night, after living with illnesses caused by shale gas drilling. Mr. Stiles was forced to move away from his Bradford County home as an environmental refugee.

Carl Stiles had intestinal cancer which he blamed on Chesapeake’s gas drilling. He and his wife abandoned their home last November at the urging of a toxicologist who found barium, arsenic, and VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) in Carl’s blood. Strontium, uranium and radium were found in their water. They’ve been told to expect to get leukemia within two years.

  1. People need help with what is happening in PA. This is the result when someone is distraught and feels utterly hopeless and abandoned.

    His story and his claims of being sickened by drilling will be disparaged.

    But SOMETHING is going on with all of the stories.

    None of this should be happening, why is the burden of proof resting on the backs of the populace?
