To Lease or Not to Lease: Has Anyone NOT signed a lease? I'd like to hear why you didn't

My wife and I are part of a landowners group that is in the process of having their Range Resources contract reviewed by attorneys.  We only have 3.2 acres and have not decided whether we are actually going to sign a lease.  I am curious to hear from people who started to go through the process and then at some point decided against it.  I'd like to hear your reasons.  FYI - I'm not posting this so I can attack people's decisions.  I am genuinely interested in hearing from people who decided not to sign a lease.  

 

Thanks in advance!

 So Jonathan do you personally know of someone who has a nondisclosure agreement with a gas company ? Oh and you won't find anything when you google that.

Watch Link TV or Free Speech TV some time. There is a lot of things we aren't being told by corporate owned media.

Yeah - I didn't understand the Ace Ventura statement either...  This has gone waaaaay off-topic.

60% of the pipelines needed here now for drilling have been in for years. I can't imagine insurance companies looking for a reason to charge us more or a bank finding another reason to not lend money at nothing%. There is most often bad in good and good in bad with anything. The worlds thirst for energy is insatiable and grows more each day and there is only so much carbon based energy on the Earth. Each day that goes by there is less per person left. You might Google “Peak Oil.”

If processing oil and gases had leftover by-products of any amount there would be a sludge pond as large as North America. Every drop gets used. The bottom of the barrel so to speak makes asphalts and tars ( roads, shingles and tires) and if you ever used gasolene, lubricants, took a bath, brushed your teeth, painted your house, bought produce at the store ( oil based fertilizer and pesticides), carpeted your home with anything other than wool, silk or cotton, drank a beverage from a plastic bottle. In a few thousand years our future generations who didn't die off and get brain cancer before reproducing because we have drugs ( synthesized from oil) will look back and call us the “Oil People.” But for now until we all have solar and alternative energy sources and a way to do everything else based on fossil fuels we are SOL.

If you are anything like me, you are eating, bathing, sleeping in and on, wearing, medicating when ill, building, powering and decorating your home, entertaining and transporting yourself and much much more, all from fossil fuels.

I know..............we can drill the oil out from under us from the other side of the Earth and let the people over there die and get brain cancer and we keep on keepin on consuming most of the energy and live happily ever after.

There have been very few accidents from pipelines that are gathering or midstream.  There are several every year from gas supply lines.  Why isn't every one screaming to shut down gas supply lines?  Why don't they scream to shut down electrical lines that burn thousands of homes every year? And get rid of those ugly poles along the road while your at it...they are dangerous too.

Oh yeah, lets force taxpayers from all over the country to pay for 75% of the cost of these contraptions so that we can have electricity that costs four times what other sources would supply.  And the hell with all those Chinese folks dying from all the highly toxic pollutants that are emitted during solar cell production

Maybe we can employ millions selling gas masks to the 6 billion Chinese people.

 

And wind turbines? They require ten times as much steel as a gas well, are Vegi-Matics for birds(especially bats and birds of prey), use up huge amounts of land, emit dangerous magnetic fields, and are also four times as expensive

 

Great ideas!

I believe that China's solar companies are doing exactly what our gas and oil companies are doing here.  Sh...ting on their people to make a buck.  I like that the people around the world are beginning to stand up and say, "we ain't taking it anymore".  This article below looks at China but what about here at home.

Jim I'm pretty sure your information on wind turbines is wrong.  I do know that little of PA is any good for wind. 

We have been researchngi alternative ways to heat our home and have begun to go with solar.  I will be finding out where our panels are made.  Thanks Jim for that story.

Google is the best way to find false and mis-leading information....about anything.
