> Honestly, my biggest concern are the fly-by-night small companies popping up to cash in on this. If it were done by an experienced company with a proven safety record over time that was verified by an unbiased outside source, or even better, academia, then I wouldn’t be against it so much and perhaps would cash in. But by the time it would be proven enough for my satisfaction, I’ll probably have already missed the boat as I watch my neighbor pull his Bentley in to his 20 car garage that his well bought for him.

🤣

There are no “fly by night” companies doing this. It costs 5-10 million on the low end to drill these wells. But yeah, when you see those videos of Saudi Arabia or Dubai or whatever with redneck moron arabians ghostriding supercars, that’s the kind of money we are going to have here in PA. Except instead of all of that money going into a few pockets, it’s going to go into the pockets of hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians.

Unless of course unfounded fears of water contamination shut it down and we can continue to live in economic purgatory.
