Rachael Colley — Wed, 22 May 2013 02:20:12 +0000

As women living in the Marcellus Shale region of the United States, it is important to understand what natural gas means to our families.

Nicole Jacobs — Wed, 22 May 2013 01:53:55 +0000

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recently responded to a report put out by the Clean Air Council (CAC) of Philadelphia, which had alleged high emissions from the Barto compressor station in Penn Township, Lycoming County.

Over the weekend the Scranton Times-Tribune ran an investigative story with [...]

A Lack of Media Coverage on Shale Development?

JD Krohn — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:00:03 +0000

Tom Wilber recently wrote on the decline of journalism and surmised that phenomenon is resulting in limited media coverage of shale development requiring citizen journalists to fill the void. That’s one way of looking at the situation, albeit one that is slightly removed from recent experience. Last week Tom Wilber penned a nearly 1,700 word article on [...]

Rachael Colley — Fri, 17 May 2013 13:48:35 +0000

The Town of Sanford has only a handful of people against natural gas, and these individuals attend every meeting, offering the same arguments at every turn. It’s as if doing the same thing yet again is going to change the results. This week’s meeting was no exception. After years of hearing the same arguments from [...]
