Gas Drlling Awareness Coalition
570-675-4910 PO Box 275 Dallas, Pennsylvania 18612 |
We are Luzerne County citizens concerned about the many problems horizontal fracturing (gas drilling) (“fracking”) will bring to this populated and developed area. Our concerns: polluted water supplies, toxic waste, radioactive mud, dirty air, depleted water habitat, noise, eminent domain, loss of farmland, loss of tourism, higher crime rates, more drug use, more traffic, more accidents, lowered property values, and increased taxes.We support clean air, clean water, local solutions, and a healthy economy. We support finding ways to sustain family farms. We support alternative energy manufacturing and distribution. We think the Wyoming Valley ought to be the leader in sustainability rather than marching back into the mines. |
