In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum.

If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.

I just wanted to thank you for blogging about the dangers of natural gas drilling. I grew up in Bradford County and still have family there. Last time I was home, I couldn't believe the visible changes that the gas drilling has already caused and have been reading extensively about the environmental impact drilling could have on the area. Needless to say, I am alarmed and angry that Pennsylvania hasn't held these companies more accountable.
