Hydrofracking-Coming to a Tompkins County Near You!?

ByReview Staff

Interesting report the other day from PennEnergy, a website that deals with the latest in energy news from around the world. According to the report, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has allowed hydrofracking in a certain well of 145 billion cubic feet/square mile of natural gas on the Marcellus Shale. While the well in question is not in Tompkins County, it is in a nearby county, and one must wonder how soon the NYDEC makes the same declaration for our area. More interestingly, one must wonder what the reaction will be if and when gas companies are given the green light to set up some drills.

Report here.
