Delaware River Basin Commission postpones Marcellus vote

Once again the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) has postponed - - no new date set - - the vote on regulations involving gas drilling.

So parts of Lackawanna County, most of Wayne County and all of Pike County remain off limits for even exploratory wells. Somehow the Susquehanna River Basin Commission was able to come up with regulations and did so quickly.

I wonder if there is a way for PA to withdraw from the DRBC. There are very large tracts of land owned by the state in Pike County that could be leased for gas drilling which would help our state budget. Not to mention landowners who stand to profit from gas drilling rather than selling out to developers.

Some are predicting that Obama will OK all of this gas drilling and the Keystone Pipeline the day after he is re-immaculated.

Why would he do that. He already is doing everything he can to stifle energy production. It seems more likely to me that He will do his best to kill Keystone and fracking after the election.

Even Hitler encouraged anything to help his country increase energy production. Not Oboma.

Second is destroy manufacturing capacity starting with the ball bearing factories".
