The hits just keep on coming!

Marcellus shale is about 3000 feet down. Utica shale is 3000 feet deeper. Both have been well known, this just confirms that the government has caught up with what the oil and gas exploration experts have known for some time.

This is not really new knowledge—some government bureaucrats must have been desperate to keep busy to justify their outrageous salaries.

But, but... peak oil! We’re running out of energy. And, globull warming, and meteors!

This is (obviously) way below the drinking water that wells tap into. The only contamination can come from leaks and misuse of fracking compounds so rein in the idiots (prosecute them) who ruin it for the honest gas exploration outfits

Marcellus shale is completely untouched in NY State. It is also untouched on federal lands in all states. There are years and years of Marcellus production before there is a need to drill deeper for Utica deposits. NY needs to get with the program. Hopefully under a Romney administration permits to drill on federal land will be issued in without delay.

For those who want to see a short 6 minute video showing how horizontal drilling and fracking is done. This includes a piece on how groundwater contamination is avoided: http://www.northernoil.com/drilling

The Obama EPA is sad to hear this. So is Iran and Russia.

There are the jobs directly provided but the land owners spending those royalty checks provide jobs too. The benefits ripple out and out.
