I am in the heart of the Marcellus Shale gas drilling. We have been fighting the anti-fracing forces with logic, reason and facts, not hysterical, emotional arguments.
Pennsylvania has been fairly good at fighting off the liberals and drilling is going on everywhere, resulting in a big boost to many local economies.
New York, however, has given in to the liberals and banned drilling. Propery owners with potential gas leases are outraged, however, the liberals will not allow drilling unless the payoffs are big enough.
Typical for NY. Then the idiot voters keep electing liberals promising more jobs.
Upstate is becoming a ghost town.
