As much as everything you list links to is supported by the very people doing the drilling… It’s all in who you believe, and if you’re getting $$$ bank from it, of course you’ll believe that propaganda. > Until many years in PA (hopefully no where near me) prove otherwise, I go with caution. I don’t trust anything in Texas. Those people would drill through their grandma’s dead body for any natural resource. > Talk to the people up the Mon who are already bitching about how the water and plant/animal life is changing and declining. Is it from frac water or drilling? Who knows. Could be mining. But either way, it’s still due to raping of the natural resources and the people who have no choice but to take the money because until this cash cow came along, they were dirt poor. > I’m as capitalist as one can get and not hippie by any means (and not one to cut back on fossil fuels or “unclean” energy), but I will not sacrifice the remote possibilty of damage to my land, water supply, and most important, the health of my family until someone NOT affiliated with the very group of people doing the drilling can prove over time that it won’t do any of the above. > Fortunately, being capitalist and building my own bank account, I don’t need their friggen money. However I’m fully aware that many around me see huge dollar signs. I hope I’m wrong in my thinking for the simple fact that my neighbors will buckle because of the cash. It only takes one. Typical pussy liberal response. “oh noes they’re raping the earth”. You want electricity? You have to have NG drilling and coal mining. One of those has little to no impact on the environment to extract it and burns over 50% cleaner, and the other does in fact rape the fuck out of the earth and turns air quality to shit. We want energy independence, but when we find the world’s largest gas reserve underneath PA, we bitch and whine about POSSIBLE water contamination. Let’s just ignore that they’ve been doing this for 10 years in Texas and Louisiana without incident, because people in Texas “would drill through their grandma’s dead body.” 🤣 companies coming in and exorbitantly compensating landowners to drill the land… let’s whine about that too like it’s a bad thing. 🤣 The industry could have came in and bought up gas rights for $100 per acre and saved themselves billions, but they didn’t. But let’s hate them for no reason anyways. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/great-interview-on-kdka-radio-this-morning-on-how-to-cash-in-on-the-marcellus-shale/205211)._
