Pennsylvania drilling may draw gas from NY  Your Letters By Your
Letters The Post-Standard on June 12, 2012 at 3:00 AM  To the
Editor:  I read your May 21 article ''For NY farmers, fracking
means salvation - or ruin'' and one thing seems apparent:
Fracking has helped farmers in Pennsylvania at New York farmers'
expense.  Why do I say that? The Marcellus shale formation
covers numerous states in the Eastern United States.
Pennsylvania fracking is pulling gas from rock not only in
Pennsylvania, but gas that is in New York near the border. Gas
pockets created millions of years ago do not know state lines.
The fracking happening over the border in Pennsylvania is
undoubtedly pulling gas from the New York side. The longer our
state leaders wait on a solution, the richer the Pennsylvania
farmers become and New York state farmers will lose money from
right under their feet.  Michael Boyle
