Jeff Swensen for The New York Times
Fracture drilling workers run machinery on a farm outside of Pittsburgh. Companies are risking big money on rural Pennsylvania, producing billions of dollars' worth of natural gas.

Democrats will put a stop to this ASAP.
Their Saudi and Venezuelan puppet masters told them to.

I thought all the gas in western PA was emitted by John Murtha, but it seems that there is plenty more!

Isn’t it a fact that the first oil wells in PA are still pumping oil?

I hope these individuals enjoy the boom while they can because soon the enviro wackos will discover all sorts of rare mammals, reptiles and amphibians that have never before been discovered. This is not to mention the increased ozone and smog generated that is harming human health. That's what is going on here in Wyoming. Every week it is something new in an effort shut down the natural gas fields that are currently making our state thrive.

Anyone ever been to these areas? Potter County in NW PA or Allegheny County in Western NY? We are talking real Appalachia-style rural poverty. Am sure the NY legislature in Albany will think of ways to take all their new-found wealth to leave them as poor as before.
