Landowners discuss drilling concerns at Ithaca High School forum

By shirari, on March 28th, 2009%

Landowners discuss drilling concerns (News 10 Now):

“A lot of people have signed because they were really misinformed about the noise and how deep the drilling is and what they’re going to do with all the water. So I’m really concerned about it,” said Marina Gershon.

“The problem of the 21st century is to make the environmental and the economy work together, not the way we are currently debating this, which is how much environmental damage can we accept for the sake of natural gas drilling,” said Al Appleton, an environmental consultant.
