A video by Scott Cannon gdacoalition.org On July 31st, 2011, a group of Democrat and Republican community leaders boarded a bus to travel an hour north to see, hear, and feel the negative effects of gas drilling.

This is the tour the gas companies don't want you to see.

Sure, there are a few millionaires made from gas drilling, but for every millionaire, there are countless other who are lied to, have their rights stripped away, and are inconvenienced beyond reason, all for the sake of a "bridge" fossil fuel that will eventually run out.

We encourage everyone to take a trip through gasland. Talk to people, notice the traffic, look at the once beautiful landscape, and ask yourself, "Is this what I want? Is this what I want for my children and grandchildren?"

$How fracking ruins land, The Real Promised Land$ $Uncomfortable Nuance Natural Gas Edition fracking, also spelled fracing or fraccing, also called hydrofracking, in full hydraulic fracturing, in natural gas and petroleum production, injection of a fluid at high pressure into an underground rock formation in order to open fissures and allow trapped gas or crude oil to flow through a pipe to a wellhead at the surface. Employed in combination with improved techniques for drilling horizontally through selected rock layers, fracking has opened up vast natural gas deposits in the United States and elsewhere. At the same time, the rapid rise of the practice, frequently in regions with no history of intensive oil and gas drilling, has raised concerns over its economic and environmental consequences.

The process involves the high-pressure injection of fracking fluid into a wellbore to create cracks in the deep-rock formations through which natural gas, petroleum, and brine will flow more freely.$ $Monroe Township PVR Partners Chief Chapin glycol dehydration and metering station hearing Beaumont Township Chief glycol dehydration and meetering station hearing recorded on 3/6/12 The entire list of Pennsylvania water contaminations from fracking. https://files.dep.state.pa.us/OilGas/BOGM/BOGMPortalFiles/OilGasReports/Determination_Letters/Regional_Determination_Letters.pdf$ $WNEP Ely Cabot Water Contamination Law Suit Day 1 SCRANTON Two families from Susquehanna County headed to federal court Monday to take on a natural gas drilling company over their drinking water. Residents from Susquehanna County are having their day in federal court in a fight against Cabot Oil and Gas over water contamination. Two families from Dimock Township are suing Cabot, claiming their water was contaminated from natural gas drilling back in 2009. Jury selection began Monday at the federal courthouse in Scranton. The Hubert family and the Ely Family, both from Dimock Township, are the only residents who did not settle with Cabot Oil and Gas over water contamination. In 2012, 40 other residents settled with the company. On Monday, the two remaining families began their fight in federal court. It has been seven years now, said Scott Ely. Its been a long haul just to get to this point, a lot of ups and downs, but I think we are going to prove something and today is the start. The Ely and Hubert families claim their drinking water was contaminated by the drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale. Now they want their voices heard and their water fixed. You have to really live it in order to feel it, said Monica Ely. I mean we havent had clean water since my son was in kindergarten and now hes in seventh grade, so they dont know any different and its not a normal way of life. The Elys were offered more than $150,000 and the Huberts $50,000 but those two remaining families did not believe the offers matched the struggles they have been dealing with. Ray Hubert tells us this fight isnt just about money. We are not here for greed. We just want things back the way they were. There is a lot to it. Its not just about any one thing, Scott Ely added. A spokesperson for Cabot Oil and Gas told us the company wont comment while a jury is being selected. Jury selection was completed Monday afternoon and opening statements are expected Tuesday.

Under a blistering hot sun the fractivists, as they are known, from 30 states and Australia demanded an end to the new process for deep shale gas exploitation that harms public health, water, and air.

Robert F. Kennedy’s (RFK Jr.) visit to Dimock on February 19, 2024 highlights the ongoing health and water contamination concerns linked to fracking, which have been well-documented in that area. His messaging aligns with environmental advocates who have long warned about the dangers of hydraulic fracturing. On the other hand, the push by Congressman Rob Bresnahan and Trump’s EPA head, Lee Zeldin, to lift the fracking ban in the Delaware Watershed shows a continuation of the pro-fossil fuel stance associated with Trump-era policies. If they succeed, it could open up new fracking opportunities in a region that supplies drinking water to millions of people. It’s a stark contrast in the Trump administration—one side arguing that fracking is making people sick, and the other pushing for deregulation to expand it. Given the history of fracking-related pollution in Pennsylvania, it’s likely to be a heated debate, especially in communities already dealing with contamination.

Appraiser Joseph Fisher, of the East Stroudsburg firm Fisher and Fisher, told the crowd he’s seen cases to argue both ways that pipelines crush home property values. There are four new pipeline projects underway, in various planning stages, that essentially will carry gas from north to south. • Atlantic Sunrise Expansion, a 180-mile project by the Williams. • Leidy Southeast Expansion, a series of “pipeline loops” totaling about 20 miles by Williams. • Diamond East Expansion, still in pre-planning stages but expected to include 50 miles of pipeline by Williams. • PennEast Pipeline, a 100-mile project by PennEast Company, a partnership that includes UGI Energy Services.
