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.

The Beginning of the Constitution Pipeline (PA)
Even if you don't know a lot about gas pipelines, well pads, or compressor stations, you can appreciate what you are seeing here in this aerial video of the Williams Central Station. Look at the contrast between the beauty of the fall foliage, the bright green fields, and the surrounding natural environment versus the well pads and compressor station which are destroying this beauty at so many levels, both above ground and underground. The eye can only see a small portion of the destruction, but it is enough to fill me with dread. All this industrialization- and for what? A few years of fossil fuel extraction. Before long, we will be forced to find sustainable alternatives. Meanwhile we are still hellbent on destruction of the planet. Why? We are ruled by corporations, and these corporations are filled with selfish, greedy people who care nothing about the planet. Can this be refuted? I think not.
