Montrose Proves Natural Gas Success May Come with Consequences

Extracting natural gas from the Marcellus Shale could eventually pay off big for the Southern Tier of New York.

The explosion at the Fiorintino residence and the resultant pollution of their well is only the tip of the iceberg in the dangers of gas drilling. At what price are people ready to lose their clean air and water, tranquility and property value, and why on earth would anyone believe a gas drilling company has their interests in mind? I know everyone thinks they will get rich, but without clean air and water, money loses its meaning. I grieve for the loss of the pristine Pennsylvania countryside.

...Wow, what an uneducated redneck you are. Wait until your family falls ill as a result of the drilling. Your mother or father or child laying in a hospital bed with lymphoma...see how funny you are then you moron.

I only want to ask that the drivers of these rigs and water tanks to please SLOW down and remember that School is in! So many of the "un-regulars" around here forget that they need to STOP when bus lights are flashing. The "regular" truckers at least become familiar with bus stop routines. I live near 706 in Rush,Pa and it has a sharp corner that only allows a 3 second stop time if you are going over the legal 45 speed limit, which most of these trucks are doing (at least 60+mph) and they can't stop when the bus is picking up my 4 kids.
Too many times now our bus driver has had to turn them in for blowing past her with the red lights on.It won't be long and the roads will be getting bad with winter coming,I don't need a senseless truck driver plowing into my kids or the bus. So, Please All Of You SLOW down and save a Life! Thank You!
