On December 1, 2012 United States Steel laid off 142 worker due to the drop in production at the McKeesport plant. US Steel had seen a jump in production at the McKeesport plant which make tubing used in the Hydraulic Fracturing process. However, do to the high importing of Chinese tubing there has been a dramatic drop in their production.

Times-Trib

Spokeswoman Courtney Boone says the company believes the supply-and-demand problem is driven largely by subsidized imports which U.S. Steel contends violate trade laws.

The tubular business had been benefiting from the Marcellus Shale drilling boom. But when the steel giant forecast its fourth-quarter earnings last month officials said they expected the tubular business to turn a profit, but on far less the $102 million operating income reported in the previous quarter.

U.S. Steel says in a statement that it can't speculate on what might happen to the plant in the future.

When I was in grade school and I was ask to answer questions about things that I had done or supposedly done, I always tried to find a way to get out of having to face the music.

Well this seems to be the way Range Resources is acting when they have to answer the questions about their actions to an ever growing informed public at the Township Meetings/Workshops.

Last night Jesse White put out a statement on how he will handle the attack against him by Range Resources.
He has A Right To Criticize Who Has A Heart To Help

In the past month or so Range has gone after Rep. Jesse White for wanting an investigation into the workings of DEP reports on possible water contamination from Fracking (Hydraulic Fracturing) in residents wells. The story broke after a DEP employee said that the DEP does not report all of the heavy metals and chemicals found in water tested from those wells. Many of which are used in the fracking process. It was also said, most employees are not qualified to do that work, even though they did.

[update] This is from Jesse White’s Facebook page about an hour ago.5:33pm, 2/6/2012

In a caucus trying to figure out what exactly is in the final version of HB 1950, the Marcellus Shale impact fee and local preemption bill. After five years of talking about working together to get it right, the bill is being drafted in secret with the drilling companies. Looks like the Era of Transparency in PA Government is officially over.

Here in Pennsylvania there is a bill that is important to the future of the landowner’s rights in the commonwealth. That bill is Pa. HB1950.

Last night as I laid in my bed, I could hear a sound that I had not heard before around this area. So I turned down the TV, (Nick is have a, "That 70s Show marathon) I new the sound from my work in construction, it was the sound of a diesel generator. The sound is coming from a Marcellus drill site not more than 2 miles from my house, (as the crow fly’s). I say is running because, the damn thing is still running as I type this!

General David Petraeus said today, that Iraq would get harder before it gets easier, and many more casualties will take place. He also admitted that violence was still high (holding steady) in Iraq, even though sectarian killings were down. As the senate was passing the Iraq war bill that starts bringing the troops home October 1st of this year, Petraeus was telling the press that the U.S. needs to be committed to the war in Iraq.

We have now started to see the Patriot Act for what it is. A group of laws rapped around powers for the President that have nothing to do with terrorism. What needs to be done now is scrap the Patriot Act and actually put together something that fights terrorism and not just dismantle the rights of the citizenry of the country.

The reason I am bringing up these to pieces of legislation is because they are set to be put into place in May of 2008. Although some states are questioning the Acts, it is not because of the loss of the right to privacy, or the possibility of ID theft. They don’t even care that if they don’t follow Federal guidelines, they will basically make the citizens of their states prisoners of that state. It is about the cost, and who will pay for It.

When you are researching these topics, you have to be sure and search under the, 109th Congress.
