Im not aware of any effects caused by the drilling sites. I live in New York and took this video when visiting my grandfather in Slyvania PA.

Is that a Unit rig?

[lucasfinley]

I believe so. They set up pretty fast and are designed to be moved to new locations after they are down. Many of these being set up around the area (Bradford County)

@ljones121 Safe for what? Life on Mars? The 2011 US House of Representatives investigative report on the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing shows that of the 750 compounds in hydraulic fracturing products “[m]ore than 650 of these products contained chemicals that are known or possible human carcinogens, regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act, or listed as hazardous air pollutants” Safe?

i'm hoping and praying that the DEC gives the green light to drilling in NY, screw the liberal enviromental groups, lets put some good paying jobs out for average NY residents.

@cdamarc

trade secret my ass, you can go to the EPA, most company websites, the PA DNR, etc. and find out what is in fracking fluid, they have to report it to the regulatory agencies.

@GADCLuzerneCounty

actually in a way i'm not, alot of people who either don't want the rigs cause oooh they're fracking, and have a pre existing methane problem in their well, try to blame the oil companies and sue them, for well cash, or are pissed that they didn't get a lease, but yet got a right of way for a pipeline through their property, and didn't negotiate either a better deal/higher price or some other perk like a homeowner hook up on the line. so again after cash.

@BeAnEarthNut

go online and find out what is actually in the frack fluid that goes down hole, its 99.5% sand and water, the chemicals that are added, are safe.

@ljones121 You are wrong in assuming everyone bases their decisions on greed.

[ljones121]

fair enough and those are your rights as an american, just don't go crying for a gov't hand out and saying its not fair that your neighbors are all driving nice cars and you ain't got shit, cause you passed up a lease.

@CigarJunkie

i think your right, and now NYS is finally maybe growing a brain and going to let them drill up here sometime either the end of this year or next year, the DEC and the legislatrue and cuomo are finally seeing the light, well maybe.
