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.

Ponder This: Venting and Flaring in Ponder, TX
I couldn't stand listening to this for 87 seconds. Imagine having to listen to this for an hour or two in the middle of the night. Some of these facilities are as close as 100 feet from houses. This video was taken from quite a distance.

I just cannot understand how they get away with putting the wells so close to houses. This is so loud that it might be physically painful for little kids or people with sensitive hearing. So, here is another pollution for folks to just get used to experiencing.
There is a disease caused by sound and vibration. It can cause serious physical ailments. People don't think about that. It seems like a ridiculous idea, but it is very real for some people.
