Pros of Natural Gas Drilling in Pennsylvania

Hydraulic Fracturing EPa declares Hydraulic Fracturing safe in 2004 study excluded from safe water act burden of proof lies with anti-drillers more efficient

Economic and local Benefits Generates direct and indirect jobs Road Bonds and maintenance higher income= better infrastructure

Energy Policy will allow increased energy independence- increased domestic production one of the largest plays ever found up-and-coming energy resource efficiency improvement

Pro-Drilling Advocates Industrial Minerals Association- North America Energy Tomorrow (American Petroleum Institute) Marcellus Coalition

Statistics Over one million hydrofracking wells drilled over the last 60 years without groundwater contamination state and local governments will receive almost $2 billion in taxes from the natural gas industry in PA from more than new jobs expected to open up in 2010 from drilling

Cons of Natural Gas Drilling in Pennsylvania By Brooke Dalby

Environmental Cost Drilling wastewater 1 Threatens populations of salamanders and aquatic insects 1 Construction of roads and pad sites (erosion & sedimentation pollution) 2 Contaminants could leach into groundwater 2 More and more off-site treatment plants needed for increasing volumes of contaminated water (also expensive) 2

Other Costs Industrialization of rural area Loss of (sometimes public) natural resource to for-profit companies Only encourages America’s dependence on non-renewable natural resources

Anti-Drilling Advocates Concerned Citizens of Northeastern Pennsylvania Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition R.E.S.C.U.E. of Northeastern Pennsylvania

Statistics/Polls A preliminary study 1 found that high-density drilling can still have a harmful impact on our environment A study conducted by Franklin & Marshall college 3 found that 35% of Pennsylvanians support a tax increase on companies that extract and sell natural gas, while 49% do not support this. A poll conducted by Gov. Rendell gathered that 78% supported gas severance tax while only 14% opposed it 1

Political Stance Democrats seem to oppose it (environmental harm) and Republicans seem to support it. Gas drilling companies support Republicans financially (campaign money) 4 The Green Party of the United States opposes this drilling expansion 5
