natural gas drilling: Gas Drilling in PA on the Upswing in 2010 - 01/11/10 08:24 AM

Okay, time to unostrichize ourselves on the gas leasing that is rather quickly moving to the front burner with many landowners and activists in Central New York. We've heard about it for a some time now, and some people have actually walked away with money in their pockets from leasing their land to energy companies for gas and mineral extraction.
