Wait till they find out their whole state has been reduced to a toxic wasteland. And its going to be funny as hell when those braindead Repubs are standing in a courtroom looking for compensation because they're rotting with cancer. The gas cronies will do like they did to the people in Alaska, tie you up in court for 20 years and wait for your dumb fucking ass to drop dead. You people never learn. I guess those gas cronies paying out 600 million for killing all those people didn't make a dent.

the beautiful state and its people will soon be turned into wasteland indeed where the water is not fit to drink and the people are poisoned but hey at least a few of them are rich.

the industry maintains they are doing fracking for 60 years and nobody ever complained .... well ... it is about TIME THAT THE PEOPLE DONT TAKE THE CRAP ANYMORE AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH!!!

It's so typical that the less educated people of PA support the drilling.

The same people that protest this probably also complain about the economy. Well, this would help the economy by having America spend a significantly less amount on foreign oil and create thousands of jobs.

@Lynxes21 someone else knows the truth ...gold star for you! so happy you understand how good this is for our region...

[natasprotector]

@xxsundown um your using electricity to run your mouth on the computer, what do you think runs the power plant? natural gas....wheres the moron stamp

[xxsundown]

People like Tom Corbett are the scum of this earth. Nothing good comes as a result of obtaining natural gas!

@esmith4646 I can see your perspective on the jobs part, but given the consequences from fracking, you might not want to support it. We all face losing our fresh water from profit seeking pigs. So whats worth more? Not having fresh water for you or your family or jobs at the cost of the environment?

[esmith4646]

i would support this as a pennsylvanian but well i have some complaints. I SAY BUILD A WALL BTWEEN US AND JERSEY/NEW YORK we hate those mother fuckers-we've hated 1 another for the past like 80 years... then i want that money to stay in the state to make us a rich state

@HemiHead66 Nowhere did I say that PA never votes Republican. I do agree with you though, the water in that area is already very polluted. I go to school near Pitt and only use plastic water bottles.

@Lynxes21 And what about the aquifers that these shitz poisoned in more than 5 states already? What about the millions of gallons of radioactive toxic chemical waste that's being dumbed into the very rivers and streams that supply drinking water to millions all across the country? What about the Texas politicians that were busted forging EPA reports of hi-levels of radiation in people's drinking water for years. Now people have cancer. Please tell me that you accept the same for yur family?
