Why, when natural gas development has a nearly 200 year history in the U.S., and hydraulic fracturing has been taking place for over half a century without polluting a groundwater supply, are our DRBC officials holding my county and New York’s governor holding his entire state hostage and not allowing landowners to develop their resources?

Fredonia, New York, is where it all started – in 1820, no less.

Yet, you would think by the reaction of some folks in New York and the Upper Delaware region of Pennsylvania, that natural gas drilling is something brand new, mysterious and dangerous. It’s not and it only took me a few minutes of research to learn about Fredonia (near Lake Erie) and how the industry has evolved since then.
