Same story.
Citizens calling for a moratorium on gas drilling in Pennsylvania as well as Texas. Can you hear them now? Read it all at www.philly.com.
Jarrett called for a moratorium on gas leases until the state can assess its ability to manage the rush. "We ought to put on the brakes until a study can be conducted to analyze what kind of impacts the drilling is having," she said.
"If they have a problem, they spend their way out of it," he said of Anadarko, which is based near Houston and has operations around the world. A single well costs $4 million to develop - each four-acre well pad may contain six or more wells - and a rig costs $50,000 a day to operate.

Please help me do the math to see how much money and profit Chesapeake and their out-of-state leassees have lost due to the almost one year delay of the Carter Ave. 16-inch gathering pipeline project. While you're at it, help me understand the reason/s for such a remarkably long delay for such a minor project involving the world's biggest independent natural producer and third largest energy corporation (with the city of FW throwing in all their resources to "git 'er done!". Surely no one person alone could have accomplished such a feat--but then again I heard their city council rep. is a courageous fighter for the "common man". (Or not.)Thanks for your help--Scott Carter
