Emotional and Traumatic Effects of Natural Gas Drilling

In November of 2011, Simone L. Perry, PhD, gave a presentation entitled, "It's Like We're Losing Our Love,"  a quote from one of the people she interviewed in Bradford County, PA, in the course of her recent and on-going research.  The subtitle of her talk was "Documenting and Evaluating Social Change in Bradford County, PA, During the Marcellus Shale Gas Boom." I have viewed this talk and highly recommend it.  A good use of 33 minutes!

Give it a look.

Gas drilling hurts people where they live in more ways than one.
