Buchy
Launches Website to Respond to Rumors About Natural Gas Extraction in
Ohio
Columbus, Ohio–
Ohio State Representative Jim Buchy (R–Greenville)
launched a website to provide factual information about oil and
gas exploration in Ohio. Although Darke County is highly unlikely
to host any hydraulic fracturing sites or waste sites for fracturing
fluid, www.gastruth.com is a one–stop shop for answers to common questions in the
community.
Representative
Buchy explained, “Because of the work of my colleagues in the Ohio
Legislature to create one of the strongest regulatory structures in
the country in regards to oil and gas exploration, I felt compelled
to respond to the misinformation we are hearing in our community.”
Representative
Buchy served as state representative from Darke County when Ohio's
modern regulatory structure was established in 1985, and since that
time he has been a part of most updates to the oil and gas regulation
program in Ohio.
“When
I first started hearing false information being spread within our
community, I was surprised because I knew that we had passed tough laws
to protect oil and gas workers and all Ohioans,” Buchy
said. “Over the last several months I have spent considerable
time researching this issue and discovered a void of factual
information, which has led to the launching of gastruth.com.”
The
launching of www.gastruth.com is another part of Representative
Buchy’s efforts over the past few months to provide information
to the public. Most recently, Representative Buchy organized a
meeting with community leaders in Darke County where the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources' top regulators answered questions
about the hydraulic fracturing process. These experts also
clarified that Darke County is highly unlikely to host hydraulic
fracturing sites or waste sites for fracturing fluid.
