What promises to be a large protest rally & march on Marcellus drilling is scheduled for October 1st in western PA. The rally will be held in concert with the industry's SHALE GAS SUMMIT taking place at the David Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh. The Shale Gas Summit is bringing together industry executives, financial experts, legislators and gubernatorial candidates and other key stakeholders in Marcellus drilling. Such a rally could take advantage of the many Marcellus players gathered in one place and would send a clear message that PA residents will not sit quietly as their wells are contaminated; farmlands are ruined; homes are devalued and tourism dollars disappear. For more information on the rally, click HERE to visit the Marcellus Shale Protest website.
What better way to join forces with other Pennsylvanians and have our collective voices heard!
"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little."
The influx of natural gas companies to the area is raising great concern to those who know and love the beautiful mountains of northern PA and the greater southern tier. In the vein of "information is power," this site is a dedicated source of information and a place to exchange & share ideas, knowledge and concerns.
