However, the best we can probably hope for now is removing the worst of the offending radiation from the land. The water table is lost for centuries.<br /><br />If you are going to play with these companies our recommendation would be to work with other neighbors to hire an independent inspector to keep and eye on the well drilling and production. <br /><br />It's difficult to clean up the mess after it is made.Martha Speakshttp://marthaoilfield.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470105285304935024.post-69261032846693773122010-01-11T16:22:25.894-05:002010-01-11T16:22:25.894-05:00Martha, I so dearly wish that PA would learn from ...Martha, I so dearly wish that PA would learn from your mistakes, but it's been proven time again that PA (or, rather, our greedy politicians) doesn't learn from our past mistakes. Perfect example in our area is the aftermath of coal mining. Most of our major streams are dead now, we're slowly cleaning up the Acid Mine Drainage - and then our lovely state government decided to lease off state lands (that were formerly coal lands and already irreversibly polluted) for gas drilling.<br /><br />I guess it is hard to learn when you're distracted by all that lobby money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470105285304935024.post-28018641838759375782010-01-06T17:38:26.825-05:002010-01-06T17:38:26.825-05:00Thank you, Martha!

But, knowing the cousins, who will be making the decision to sign a lease or not, it doesn't look too promising.Peacegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098424765852560323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470105285304935024.post-27897233901819424022010-01-05T23:44:21.627-05:002010-01-05T23:44:21.627-05:00You seem to be making the same mistakes we made, s...You seem to be making the same mistakes we made, selling out to the oil and gas companies for a bit of cash now and a lot of toxic waste cleanup headaches later.
