These trailers are used in the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing during oil and gas drilling. During ‘fracking’, hundreds of thousands of gallons of sand, water and chemicals are injected into the ground, to break apart rock and allow natural gas to flow to the well. The ingredients that make up the mix of water, sand and chemicals are mostly undisclosed, and a significant amount are not recovered, causing environmental and human health concerns. Hydraulic fracturing raises contamination concerns for ground and fresh water that feeds the rivers and reservoirs used by fisherman, agricultural farmers, cattle ranchers and local communities. It also threatens air quality as gases and chemicals migrate to the surface. When roadless areas are opened to oil and gas drilling, they are not only fragmented and turned into industrial zones, but also become at risk to the high costs associated with environmental clean-up processes, loss of good water sources and human and animal health issues.

Went to give the dog some food this morning and this is what I found.
They're currently living in a 10 gallon tank with some water and a dog biscuit until I can figure out what to do with them.
The right of way for a natural gas pipeline passes through farmland near the community of Mountain, W.Va. The pipeline runs beneath the smooth area in the lower right corner of the photo, crossing a small creek at the edge of the tree line. Photo by Mike DuBose, UM News.

" Vecchio Frack "
di Domenico Modugno
E' giunta mezzanotte
si spengono i rumori
si spegne anche l'insegna
di quell'ultimo caffè
Le strade son deserte
deserte e silenziose
un'ultima carrozza cigolando se ne va.
Il fiume corre lento
frusciando sotto i ponti
La luna splende in cielo
dorme tutta la città
Solo va
un uomo in frack.
Ha il cilindro per cappello
due diamanti per gemelli
Un bastone di cristallo
la gardenia nell'occhiello
E sul candido gilet
Un papillon, un papillon di seta blu.
Bonne nuit, bonne nuit, bonne nuit, bonne nuit,
buona notte
Va dicendo ad ogni cosa
ai fanali illuminati
Ad un gatto innammorato
che randagio se ne va.
E' giunta ormai l'aurora
si spengono i fanali
Si spegne a poco a poco tutta quanta la città
La luna si è incantata
sorpresa e impallidita
Pian piano scolorandosi nel cielo sparirà.
Sbadiglia una finestra
sul fiume silenzioso
E nella luce bianca galleggiando se ne va
Un cilindro
un fiore e un frack.
Galleggiando dolcemente e lasciandosi cullare
Se ne scende lentamente
sotto i ponti verso il mare
Verso il mare se ne va
Chi mai sarà, chi mai sarà
quell'uomo in frack.
Adieu adieu adieu adieu, addio al mondo
Ai ricordi del passato
Ad un sogno mai sognato
Ad un attimo d'amore che mai più ritornerà.

Directly across from Read's Landing are lovely sand dunes. People would boat on the Mississippi, pull up here and camp. Until now. The Chippewa River sand which plugs up the river and makes Lake Pepin is perfect for mixing with toxic chemicals and injecting into Pennsylvania's ground water to get out natural gas which is so cheap they flare it off in North Dakota.
