    The resources are very useful. I'm currently researching the threat brought the oil and gas industry in the surrounding marine life. This is a great lens to start my studies :)

    Thanks!

    This is a great list of information about natural gas drilling. Thanks for sharing it with us. These are very helpful in keeping us aware of what's happening around us. :)

    Wow! You have so much information about this! I'm doing a report for my summer environmental science class and you have helped me a lot. This site helped a lot too. There are a lot of lenses about the topic that I'll have to look at.

    You have collected an impressive amount of information about fracking. I'm just starting a location-specific lens about fracking in Ohio.

    Thank you for this informative lens! Recently, I watched a documentary about the environmental impact of gas extraction. It was very disturbing to learn about the state that gas extraction sites are left in once they've been depleted, as well as the detrimental effects to the heath of people living near the sites.

    I will definitely follow this site and refer others to it. I have also created a lens, http://www.squidoo.com/pedestrian-accidents . As a California injury lawyer practicing in Orange County, I wanted to create an informative page on pedestrian rights, offering information and legal advice. Hopefully you will have a chance to check it out.
    Thanks again for this great lens.

    Thought I would contribute two websites that can be used as resources to learn more about environmental and public health impacts of gas extraction:
    Blog: http://fractracker.org
    Data Mapping Tool: http://data.fractracker.org

    It is also hypocritical to say we need to drill for national security reasons, but allow foreign companies to invest and do the work. There is a difference between conventional and unconventional recovery. If the US is going to invest this much time, effort and money in extracting the resource unconventionally, they should be doing the same for renewable resources. Instead, our country panders to private corporations and their well funded lobby. Europe is reluctant to adopt this type of drilling because of the hazards, yet they rely on the gas, too. Is it really hypocritical to expose the hazards of this process when regulating agencies have been caught lying and telling half truths about unconventional recovery (from cradle to grave)? If those that are familiar with the process were honest, we might not be here.
  • DanSuciu Aug 21, 2010 @ 3:19 pm | delete
    The point is that the gas is needed and if you can't go for it in one region, you will drill elsewhere so all this lobbying of the environmentalists seems a little hypocritical to me, they are disturbed that all this nature harming processes are taking place near their homes, they didn't do anything when the USA bought propane from Kuwait. It would be interesting to see them boycott the natural gas usage, lol.

    Really interesting information. This article truly brings out the negative impacts of so called technologies

    Wonderful lens! As an environmentalist also, I am against on those activities that may harm the environment.

    There's a great story and shale and another on Eric Massa and drilling at http://www.dcbureau.org/20091204299/Natural-Resources-News-Service/the-marcellus-shale-new-york-is-the-natural-gas-industrys-new-lab-rat.html and http://www.dcbureau.org/20100322346/Bulldog-Blog/before-the-massa-meltdown-an-interview-on-the-marcellus-shale.html

    Hi Popworm,

    I wanted to share our experiences with the pipeline, but it's some 3000 characters and won't fit in this blurb. Can you suggest a way to email it to you?

    Thanks!

    Thanks Monica! I added links to NYH2O and the NYH2O Facebook page under Groups. The sites look great and I'm so glad you let me know about them so I could add them here. Thanks so much for the info and the kind words!

    Hey Popworm
    This site is fantastic! Thank you so much for all of your efforts on this fight.
    Could you possibly add www.nyh2o.org?
    we are a NYC based group working to educate the public about the issue and get a state-wide ban against gas drilling.
    and please link to the facebook page also: http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php#/group.php?gid=66142772149&ref=ts

    Thank you so much! I am very happy to have found out about this.
    Keep up the great work!
    best,

    Thanks DivideWatch! And thanks so much for the comment and info on your site. I put a link to it under Blogs, above. What a great site you've got! The more info that comes together and comes out, the harder it gets to believe that these events are "rare", "isolated" or "unrelated to gas drilling".
  • DivideWatch Feb 25, 2009 @ 5:00 pm | delete
    Everyone peering through the lens: hang in there and fight fight fight! We've been in the bull's eye for six years and have been posting "rare" drilling "events" - like on-going gas/water co-mingling for the last year or so on our website www.journeyoftheforsaken.com We've already been through one seep in2004 - info online - plus a second from 2008. You may find something there that is useful in your search for resources and support. Good luck!

    Thanks Homunculus! Nice blog - I put up a link under Blogs. Thanks for linking to the lens on your blog. I appreciate the kind words!

    Brilliant lens for fighting the good fight. May I ask you to include
    http://otegony.com in your list? We are trying to keep the gas-holes out of our town of Otego. You can also find a cool, printable poster for fighting the gas-holes at http://otegony.com/dont-sign-poster/

    Keep up the great work!

    Thanks BbRock! I've been looking around for those powerpoints. I found their July 2008 Roadshow PPT, that has Utica Shale info, but not the other PPT.
  • BbROCK Aug 25, 2008 @ 5:47 pm | delete
    Excellent lens. I've been telling people about it.

    You might want to add a link to Gastem's corporate website (gastem.ca), which has two powerpoints on their drilling in the Utica Shale. In Otsego County, NY this foramtion is the target for gas drilling.
