Chief Oil and Gas spokesperson tells Wyoming County residents about the wonders of natural gas drilling. Notice the poster: A Clean Source of Energy! They're kidding, of course.
Wow! Look what's going on in Wyoming County, PA! They're getting their bridges ready for those gigantic gas drilling-related trucks. And what's this? RELOCATING A STREAM?????? Say what? And one more thing: What is a "temporary" wetland impact? Sounds strange to me. Can any impact be truly temporary for sure?
