Yes Roy that is correct, you did not answer one of my questions are here are a few more. Where is the toxic waste water going? What happens to the sludge in the waste pits when it dries out and blows all over the fields? Why does the landowner have to spend hundreds of dollars getting their water tested when they choose not to lease but the neighbor's well's have been poisoned as is the case in Dimock. No instead of answering me , you resort to your usual pathetic tactic of attacking me by calling me stupid or accuse me of " spewing garbage" Instead of answering my concerns in a respectful way. I do not believe you are a real person.. I think you are a rep for the gas industry trying to intimidate me. Well it will not work. I am a loyal tax-paying citizen who is concerned about the environmental impact of drilling. And the unpleasant nature of your replies leads me to believe that deep down, you yourself do not know the truth about gas drilling/

Hi Roy -- No problem. You can post on my page when you want to.

Hi Roy, I have land in Wasington, PA. Range has offerd me $200. per acre for one year plus 15% royalties. What do you think? Thanks for the help!

Hi Roy -- I'm glad you enjoy my posts. I work in community relations for EXCO-North Coast. I've been here a few months,but have ben around the energy and environmental arenas for a number of years,

Well goodness, that makes sense. Thank you so much, I guess we will just wait and see what comes of it, and hope and pray for the best.

You should post your small vs large wall post as a blog post. Good thoughts.

Oh dear, I'm afraid my sarcasm went right over your head in spite of your being a brilliant business man. I think I will gracefully bow out of this website since I am not a popular gal. And when all my neighbors are building MacMansions with their new found wealth, I will still be poor, but I will die richer. Richer because I stuck to my principles of preserving the beauty of the land. Apparently you find that to be unpatriotic although it is difficult to imagine why reaming out the remaining natural gas at the pace that is going on is pro american. I am not categorically opposed to gas drilling. I am opposed to contaminated wells ( 20 in my area) trucks that do seismic testing at the end of my driveway on a beautiful morning on a national holiday ( Memorial Day) and well covers blowing off the neighbors wells. FYI: the DEP is investigating Cabot Oil and Gas for violations on that one. I doubt very much you have ever lived any where near a gas drill. I am currently surrounded by them and I have the right to object. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME STUPID, UN AMERICAN OR ANY OTHER INVECTIVE YOU HAVE FOR ME! So goodbye Roy, I wish you well and I hope you get really, really rich.

I guess I'm too stupid to understand royalties in spite of my Ivy League education!

Dear Roy: I am not bashing anyone. I am saying I choose not to lease my land for gas drilling. Would you have a gas well on your property? I doubt it. Cabot Gas has offered me $2700 an acre to lease my land. That is chump change for an industry that made 3.5 billion in profits last year. And for that they would be able to tear up my land and put as many wells as they wanted. I understand your point of view, I simply disagree. But that is the beauty of discourse.
