No one's looking to cripple the gas industry, drive away many very needed jobs or bankrupt our national energy security. But people trump profit. Homes beats Executive Suites. It's high time to be careful and thoughtful when an industry invades farmlands.
Seems like a reasonable comment to me. You do realize that the problems which seem to draw the most negative attention on this topic are all legal. I think that more than anything else is what really ticks off the anti's.
I recommend updating the oil and gas regs to better handle the modern technology used to get the natural gas out of the ground. Update the water disposal laws as well. All the angst pointed at the gas producers strikes me as based on a poor understanding of the issues involved, and where the changes need to be made.
