However, I can tell you, most people here want more drilling not less and there will be no moratorium. Senate Bill 424 to provide environmental regulation of Marcellus drilling did not pass and it was relatively modest in its aims and requirements. So do not expect a moratorium here. The state wont even stop Mountaintop Removal, longwalling, and strip mining, which are the real destructive forces here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288125391767104089noreply@blogger.com
