ORVI Updates Fake Report Claiming No $ Benefits from M-U Fracking

In early 2021, MDN told you about a so-called “research report” issued by a front organization for the Heinz Endowments called the Ohio River Valley Institute (see Heinz Endowments Launches Another Fake ‘Report’ Bashing the M-U). ORVI published a "report" that purported to show the fracking miracle in the Marcellus/Utica hadn't actually created all that many jobs or economic benefits. The first tip that the report was a scam and a sham is that the lead "researcher" doesn’t live in the Ohio River Valley nor anywhere near the M-U; he’s a playwright who lives thousands of miles away on the Left Coast, in Washington State. In other words, the report was fiction. But that hasn't stopped the left from recycling it. ORVI recently released Frackalachia Update, an updated (recycled) version of the same old fiction from two years ago.
