  • @pegobuilders yeah, and probably the biggest importer of drinking water

  • @pegobuilders So these corporations are going to ruin my water, air, property value and health so they can make a bundle of money shipping the gas overseas? THANKS A LOT!

  • Due to the recent discoveries of massive reserves of shale rock formations - America could soon be a net exporter as oppposed to the biggest importer of oil & gas in the world.

  • The risks are, if they don't do the job right, that you could contaminate your well water or the well water of your neighbors. There is also the problem that these folks own you until they are done drilling, and if they find a lot of gas, they could be there for years, and you wont like it very much when they are done. The longer they stay, the more damage they can do to your land.

  • Hey i'm considering have my land drilled in tunkhannock pensylvania what can you tell me about risks and what will happen to the land after they are done?
