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.

Compressor Station: Be the First On Your Block To Have One Next Door
The Teel Compressor Station on Button Road in Dimock, PA. Vera's video from yesterday. The noise is unacceptable.
Well, it sounds to me on the level of having a circular driveway and having a row of diesel trucks going 'round and 'round until fossil fuels run out. I still feel that, if the CEOs truly think this is such a positive thing for Americans,they should all have compressor stations and hydrofracking within 200 feet of their homes. Won't happen. Know why? One reason- their multi-million-dollar mansions would decrease in value. Another? Well, it ISN'T as safe as they imply in their ads and they certainly wouldn't want themselves or their children exposed to harmful chemicals. So, let's review- fracking is a great idea as long as it is not done near THEM. Nice CEOs, eh?
