Initial rulings in Dimock case go against Cabot O & G

Posted on January 28, 2011 at 1:51pm 0 Comments

For those Shalers following the lawsuit brought against Cabot O & G by residents of Dimock, PA, some initial rulings by the Federal Court's Judge Jones have largely gone against the defendant.  Cabot had sought to dismiss or otherwise strike several of the plaintiff's claims. I'm curious exactly why this case ended up in Federal Court instead of a State one.  Anyone know?…

An environmental advocate explains the status of drilling in NY State

Posted on September 18, 2010 at 3:00pm 1 Comment

Whether you agree with Katherine Nadeau of the Environmental Advocates of NY or not, she makes a good point that the debate over drilling in NY is frequently framed as a conflict between dirt poor farmers who want to drill and environmental extremists who hotly oppose development. The true situation is neither black or white, but rather falls within the shades of gray between these two polar extremes. In this… Continue

Both sides in the environmental debate are reaching

Posted on April 28, 2010 at 10:00pm 2 Comments

Penn State's indefatigable Professor Terry Engelder says both sides of the environmental debate are exaggerating. The natural gas E & P companies minimize the risks to groundwater--there are a few, such as drilling into pockets of methane gas that can produce milky-looking well water. Some environmentalists have attacked hydro-fracturing as if it were a proven source of water contamination (it's not). …

The Baby In the Bathwater

We've heard about all of the dangers of hydro-fracturing (aka fracing), and doubtless environmental concerns deserve to be adequately addressed, yet its easy to lose sight of the big picture and to realize that the Marcellus shale and other similar shale gas developments in Louisiana and Texas change everything. …

Hi Tom,

 

Funny though kinda sad. I can guess how much they are spending. Millions. Or at lease high 6 figures. High price PR firms market API's efforts. Genuine grassroots is where it's at. I believe API would do much better if they just got behind our efforts and supported.

 

Do you have a seperate analytics tool for your site? Those numbers are actually 40-50% low for me and likely for you. However, my understanding is they give you a decent idea as to how you compare with other sites.

Atlas seems to focusing over in the Middlebury area

 

That is what I can think of for now. But I know many places where their are wells I'll just look them up by the "family/business name" it might help me narrow it down.
