Pennsylvania’s oil and gas regulatory program is much stronger than suggested by fractivists and some New Yorkers who’d like to think their state is superior in every way.

Spending a lot of time in New York, one gets used to hearing, over and over again, from fractivists and others, how Pennsylvania’s oil and gas regulatory program is somehow flawed. Truth is, though, the Commonwealth has a superb program, one that should be the envy of other states and that’s not my evaluation but that of independent organization of state and Federal agencies known as STRONGER. It just reviewed Pennsylvania’s program and found it “is, over all, well-managed, professional and meeting its program objectives.”
