Interesting article. The new bonanza of gas extraction going on in Pennsylvania doesn't seem to bare any relationship to what's allegedly going on up in North Dakota. I assume we are dealing with two completely different geological processes. Regarding the NY article... As always, it comes down to the bottom line. The final sentence: "When Range came in a lot of people didn't like it," Mr. Deiseroth said, "But things changed when they started getting their checks."
