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.

Now The Real Work Begins
So, President Obama has been given a second term by the electorate. Now we have our work cut out! Oppose the Keystone XL pipeline! Let's get wind and solar energy subsidized. Just a few things to do I would say. Obama won't go in this direction without enormous pressure from us.
Your information needs to be updated. We are subsidizing Solar and Wind, to the tune of billions. The actual cost of wind energy is not shown on your utility bill, it shows up as huge tax credits for taxes owed to the US Treasury. Wind is not cheap, its real costs are hidden in our expanding national debt. I'm all for renewables, but some one has to pay for it, and right now we as a nation have decided that will be our great grandchildrens problem.
