That was one big reason I became an environmental scientist. I grew up in a rural area off of a well, one of my biggest fears was they would find natural gas in the area because if anything got into our water my life would be OVER. This is so shitty and whoever approved the new drilling needs to be ashamed.

Who do you think approved it? My guess would be Gov. Wolf.

If you read your own article you'd be able to answer that.

>In an interview Friday, Wolf said he was satisfied with his administration’s decision to allow Coterra to go back into Dimock, “as long as they do what we need them to do with the new water supply and the pipes.” He said the company had to abide by “some pretty stringent guidelines.”

Reminds me of Bill Clinton selling us down the river on NAFTA, when he was leaving office.

You mean Bill Clinton AND the Newt Gingrich led, Republican House that had been pushing for NAFTA for years prior. Give credit where credit is due.

Not sure where you got your info, but union leaders never supported NAFTA. Strictly supported by the greedy Clinton and the greedy Republicans. USW even sued to stop NAFTA.

I lived through it. It was a mad dash for cash, every greedy bastard jumped on board. I recollect the unions setting up shop in Mexico right in step with the auto industry. So publicly, they didn't like it but were chasing the $$$$$.

"Setting up shop?" - this makes no sense. What benefit did the unions have in supporting NAFTA knowing that the auto factories were going away to Mexico and utilizing non-union labor? There would be NO benefit. If you could provide some evidence that union leaders supported NAFTA maybe that would clear things up. Otherwise, I have to think you got the facts mixed up.
