In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.

Natural Gas Drilling: Know the Drill Video
Chris Bateman made this short video in May of 2010, travelling through NE Pennsylvania and talking with local residents who have been seriously affected by the gas drilling industry. Their lives have been basically disrupted beyond repair, in other words, ruined. Listen to what they have to say. Bad water- can't bathe, can't do laundry, can't drink from the faucet. Can't sell home. Afraid of explosions from methane migration. Is this a viable way of life?
