Corbett on Dimock

This is the comment I left on Steve Corbett's recent article about drilling in Dimock.  I encourage everyone who can to listen to his 3 to 7 pm local talk show on WILK.  Call in with your Anti Frack Gas comments.  Everyone has something to say.

People are coming together in what are still relatively small numbers against the drilling. It concerns me however that so many people are focusing on rural areas and the suburban back mountain. People in Wyoming Valley must learn that what threatens outlying areas threatens us. Huntsville and Ceasville dams are surrounded by leases and very much at risk.

What will be left of Wyoming Valley when our water is toxic? Does anyone believe our elected officials will save us? Water is not a municipal commodity. Dig deep enough and it is all the same water. Some people say that no one in the valley cares. It's my opinion they don't know, that we are poised to be caught unaware. Like Dimock.
