The property of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Wheeling, West Virginia (Courtesy of Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph)I first arrived at the motherhouse of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Wheeling, West Virginia, in 1966.
Because of a 2022 state law, our land can be fracked against our will if enough neighbors agree to fracking on their land.
Mining put food on our table in Fairmont, West Virginia, and that's pretty easy to understand.
I expect health problems will ramp up in West Virginia from increased extraction with decreased regulation.
Fracking companies are just here for profit, but this is our home.
