A jury in Dallas, TX today awarded $2.925 million to plaintiffs Bob and Lisa Parr, who sued Barnett shale fracking company Aruba Petroleum Inc. for  intentionally causing a nuisance on the Parr’s property which impacted their health and ruined their drinking water.   (See more…)  (Poster’s comment:  This is huge.  Bypass FERC.  Bypass statutory exemptions.  Go to “Intentional Tort.”  Truly great news from this jury trial.  And no surprise, DeSmog Blog is on top of it.)
