Finally saw this film the other day.  Found it at the local library!  Great response to gasland and it gives some more insight on some of the themes in promised land.  If you have'nt seen it - give it a whirl.  Sure makes you wonder about hidden agenda (antis & wealthy greeny weenies).  Just wanted to bump up this old thread for some of the old timers here and any newer interested parties.

PBS sadly it no longer supports anything other then the Administration' takeover.

And if they haven't even drilled where is all the damage or harm you speak of Gary?

I do know what I am talking about and I doubt both of the figures you mention. 

80 per acre might be true for the shallow drilling rights but she would still be able to lease the deep rights after giving current lessor an option. 

I have not heard of anyone getting nearly as much as 6250 an acre in Venango county but perhaps you are elsewhere and in a more probable drilling location.

However I still doubt your comments. One lease is too low one to high. And you have never said anything about what harm has been done.

You get 6250 per acre and no drilling has been done and you complain? This I find hard to believe.

Kathleen has lived with it. But says nothing about whether positive or negative? What government funded media do you refer to?

Gary I see you have become uncustomarily  silent since my request for hard facts.

And the rest of the anti drillers seem to have disappeared as well once they were asked for hard facts.

Sour grapes by people who have no land to lease I suspect.

I truly have to laugh at the suggestion that a government funded media would air a anti-EPA show.

As someone that has lived with the drilling for six years now, I have found that there is some truth in every + or - being thrown at us.

And if they haven't drilled I am certain you could give back the "huge payoff" (how about details on price per acre) you received. With a bit of interest added and probably the help of your lawyer (surely you had one before you signed) you could gett out of any lease you are unhappy with.

And what harm has been done Gary?

What company has a lease on your land?

Where is it located?

Have they even drilled?

To me you appear to be a fraudulent anti drill  protester with no hard facts to support your case.

Gary, THANKS!

The ATGAS 2 incident Gary P refers to happened around May 19, 2011. I know it in detail as my house is less than 2,000 feet from the well. When it happened the closest homes were offered an evacuation option, I believe only 3 actually took it and only one stayed away for more than one day. CHK implemented an extensive water well testing program that continued for months. With the exception of temporary effects on one shallow dug well directly downhill from the drill site no impact was found by the CHK testing program or the DEP. The only documented damage to wildlife was the death of frogs in a small pond (really, more like a large puddle) within 500' of the well head. No long term contamination has been found by the DEP after a one year investigation.

Sorry Gary,

You have done nothing but quote a mess of unproven speculative remote possibilities of harm.

Show proof of real harm that has occurred  or just continue to look like silly whiner who did not own land that gas companies wanted to lease and is somehow unable to get lucrative employment in the industry.
