Just Published! #BombTrucks101 + Invite to CRITICAL Oneonta board mtg

Mni Wiconi - Sat Chit Ananda - Tat Tvam Asi

Hi everyone--

Announcing: #BombTrucks101!

Big news! Please check out my new document:

I've been working on this for weeks.
I hope you find it helpful in your efforts to Protect Water and Life.

Constructive criticism appreciated.
(There is probably too much detail in certain places.)

I'm still hearing some pushback on the use of the term #BombTrucks.
Not sure why. Some are really smart people!

"Whatever you do, don't say 'Bomb Trucks!'"

Here's a joke:

Q: How many Ithaca PhD's does it take to calculate the explosive potential of
    11 tons of methane, in terms of TNT equivalent?

A: None I can find. But someone like me with 2 years college can?

Hey, IT'S A JOKE!!

I love, respect, admire, and cherish the friendship of all my really smart friends
with advanced degrees. I think you all have done amazing work. I have great
adoration for you....

Still, I feel like I'm doing Defense of my PhD in #BombTrucks!

That's OK. Ithaca is a "tough room". High standards, which I hope to meet.

I hope I can get more of my smart-people friends on board with this,
because  THIS IS A BRAND NEW THING. These are not your grandfather's 
CNG Steel Bottle Tank Trucks. 

AS YOU WILL SEE if you read #BombTrucks101
THERE IS NOTHING like these vehicles on the road today.
They are SUPER EXOTIC and require custom ROBOTS to build.

Bottom Line: The term #BombTrucks is completely rational and
reasonable, and grounded in fact and science. Additionally, it
is ethically justifiable and IMO our MORAL IMPERATIVE to
raise the alarm when some new thing comes down the road
which poses such an EXTREME THREAT to our communities.

HELP ME RAISE THE ALARM NOW
before an entire neighborhood is destroyed.
Join the Stop the #BombTrucks Coalition.
(details forthcoming)

NEWS!

Lots of recent #BombTrucks activity & news!
  • NG Advantage is Not Dead Yet, and is rumored to be poking around in Springville, Susquehanna County PA. Haha. Maybe they'll purchase the old Grimsley property, may Jim Rest in Piece. This was the site of Vera Scroggins' very first video on fracking. We've heard Ann Van Lenten eventually got fed up and turned against industry, left the area. .

  • Pentagon Energy, long dormant, is suddenly hopping. Proposed site for New Milford, Susquehanna County Pa. They are partnered with CAT CNG. Been tracking them for some time. Unit was formerly Pentacles. (Sounds like weird Illuminati stuff to me.)

  • XNG has had TWO NEW rollover crashes since we last chatted!

    • One was July 11, 2018 in the Town of Exeter, Otsego Co. 911 Dispatch reported the truck was leaking gas. Rt 28 was closed from 16 to Schuyler Lake. 90 min. into the incident, they were still trying to disconnect power and phone lines. First responders were waiting on Verizon and rep from XNG from Forest Lake PA to arrive. The road was closed for about 12 hours.

    • The other was June 2, 2018 on I-87 Thruway in the Town of Bethlehem. exactly 2.0 miles to the Governor's Mansion. The driver was Northbound and full (likely heading to the NYSEG station in Mechanicville) moved from passing lane into driving lane and somehow lost control, going into shoulder striking guardrail just past an overpass. Vehicle rides the guard rail until it ends, destroying 12 box beam guide rails and 16 posts. At the end of the guard rail, the Truck pivots right and flips 270 degrees landing on right side. 911 Dispatch reports leaking gas. Call to NRC reports possible gas leak.

      As far as we can ascertain, normal procedures WERE NOT FOLLOWED. There were no evacuations to 1/2 mile as recommended by the Emergency Response Guide #117 (UN1971 Compressed Natural Gas), and pole utilities were not de-energized, and I-87 was not shut down. Within the evacuation zone, there are

    • two restaurants
    • two hotels
    • a gas station / convenience store
    • ~10 other businesses
    • ~15 homes

    • Just outside is the New York Thruway Authority Building.

      HELP ME GET THESE THINGS OFF NY ROADS
      before there is a REGRETIBLE TRAGEDY.

  • You've probably heard the Cayuga Power Plant wants to re-fire with fracked gas supplied on #BombTrucks. What you may not have heard, is that NYSEG has proposed a "Non-Pipe Alternative" to boosting supply in parts of Tompkins County. One possibility...? #BombTrucks! Thankfully, the Tompkins County Legislator Passed a resolution against injecting gas as a solution.

  • Lastly, there is in important Town Board meeting in Oneonta tonight
    on a proposed #BombTrucks terminal there. Could be a big one.
    Town Hall, 3966 NY-23, West Oneonta, NY 13820

PS: I live on donations and grants.
If you find my work valuable,
I would be EXTREMELY GRATEFUL to receive
donations via Paypal:
(please write for my physical address for sending check or MO)

Thank you!

I have been working on this #BombTrucks 101 document
for about 5 weeks. I would like to raise
$2-$3,000 in donations for this work.
That's like 5 weeks at a living wage.
I've been working on this for about that long,
the backing research for 15+ months.

I am working on a lot of other really cool stuff which you will also be supporting:
1: a MAJOR Safe Drinking Water Act story (getting ZERO help from 501c3s / NGOs), and
2: a Six Hour video of hard-core fracking impacts,
    shot over my last year living in Dimock.
     It's too massive for words. This will blow your minds.

Thanks for whatever you can give.
