Gas Bill: Shale Drillers Got the Better Part of the Deal from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Pennsylvania already has a love-hate relationship with Marcellus Shale gas drilling. Enthusiasm for the prospect of good jobs and generous payments to property owners who lease their land has been tempered by worries about the prospects for harm to the state's air, water, roads and quality of life. To handle that duality, the state needed the right combination of taxation and limitation. Regulations passed last week by the Legislature -- dealing with well fees, zoning restrictions and environmental impact -- fail on both counts."
