EPA moves to rein in ‘fracking’ pollution

The Federal and State EPAs are now putting forth regulations to make oil and gas companies more environmentally responsible.  Ohio also has a bill on the table proposing a tax on the producers coming in to Ohio so that a portion of their profits will be (hopefully) used to maintain and improve the infrastructure needed to support this industry. 

The Ohio EPA plan has support from the Sierra Club, but not some other fringe environmental groups.  That is a good sign that it is somewhat fair.   Now - let's hope all these jobs created in Ohio by this industry materialize ASAP!

New players staking claims to Ohio’s Utica shale land - Local - Ohio

This is an exciting industry in Ohio right now.  Ohio's energy resources have been thought dead for a long time, but technology has caught up now and some of these new wells are able to yield significant natural gas and oil for the first time in decades.

This area of industry fits in well with my practice area, I have one local oil and gas company as a client and hope to get more out of state business that need quality land related legal work.  I have a team of professional prepared to offer title opinions, lease and royalty research, contracts and other industry related local representation.

Fractal Geometry

The background of my website is a fascinating image of something called the Mandelbrot Set which is a fractal. It is a popular example of a mathematical visualization.  A fractal is a geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is a reduced copy of the whole.    To see a zoom-able image of the Mandelbrot Set that will make your head spin, go here: Neave Fractal Zoom.   For the mathematicians out there, or to ruin all of the mystique and fun of the Mandelbrot set, go here Wiki/Mandelbrot_set and get ready to have your mind blown!
