... they literally give it away for free at night.

Just think, if Texas would join the national grid, electricity rates would go down for millions. Haven't they noticed all the deserted strip-mines in the counties not too far south of them? How much unproductive farms stripped of their topsoil by shysters there is???

How many farms around them have been left fallow, paying very little tax into the local infrastructure?

A little stupidity and lack of forsight can go a long damn way.

Is fracking something they want for Ohio? Fossil fuels are on their way out. Do they really continued fracking in Ohio, even if it's a couple of counties away?

The Muskingum Watershed includes parts or the entirety of 27 counties. The southeast portion of the watershed (Carroll, Harrison, Belmont, Noble and Guernsey) have been significantly impacted by oil and gas development. Other counties (Coshocton, Tuscarawas, Holmes, Knox, Licking, Richland, Wayne, Ashland, Muskingum, Morgan, Columbiana and Washington) have all seen activities associated with oil and gas development (compressor stations, injection wells and pipelines).
