PGR88, you are talking like a real dipstick. Western PA is gorgeous land and Hickory is a beautiful place that I often admire on the drive to my daughter's college. As a matter of fact, you can see the lights of the drilling location (Hickory)on in the evenings. I'm glad they are prospering. Appalachia-style rural poverty my a$$!!!!
They are beautiful places, but far away from where the bulk of non-farm jobs are in PA. How’s that for an accurate statement? The people there usually have some money, but there are not a lot of people in the area. Lots of times they are jobs like trucking that take the men away from the area for a while.
It’s where people move to that want to own land and do. Some beautiful farms, cattle and horse stables. Noticed last week how all the farm animals were out in the fields. Beautiful spring!

I live in Eastern PA, and it’s the first time I heard of this. Amazing story....
The public hates instability in gas prices, so when prices were low, many policies were put in place to dampen market movement, to protect producers; these include foreign “allies” and influential oil producers; with prices riding high, a little natural market instability might be a good thing.
I live here - so I know. These areas are beautiful, but that has nothing to do with the poverty I see. In Cattaragus or Allegheny counties in NY - any idea of what % of population has medicaid health insurance? 50%.
DRILL like HELL!
