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.
It's the end of the American dream for these people. They were preyed upon by the worst kind of predator- a big company, who KNOWS they are going to irrevocably ruin their land and goes ahead and does it anyway. Now that a few more people realize what Gasland costs in terms of water and health and environment, perhaps we can tell the CEOs where they can drill- 200 yards from their own homes. See how eager they are to drill if it means polluting where they and their families live...
