Here's one link to info on where to send Public Comments to stop the Fracking for Natural Gas in Pennsylvania public and private lands, and the theft of our water, the threats to the Delaware River, the poisoning of our water,  the pollution and environmental damage from trucks, and so forth.

 Sierra Club isn't exactly the strongest ally in any natural lands defense, but the info is here anyway.

For very thorough coverage of the situation, Google up  University City Press Review articles at;    http://www.ucreview.com/default.asp?sourceid=&smenu=1&twindow=&mad=&sdetail=1883&wpage=1&skeyword=&sidate=&ccat=&ccatm=&restate=&restatus=&reoption=&retype=&repmin=&repmax=&rebed=&rebath=&subname=&pform=&sc=2320&hn=ucreview&he=.com

     Look up plenty of other articles on the topic there.   Read, for instance, how this fracking can take so much water from the Delaware that tides will bring salt water up to our water intakes.    Philadelphia would then need to build a Very Expensive de-salinization plant....one that we will pay for.   The natural gas people (including Halliburton and Exxon and other notables) will not pay for that.  They are exempt from laws about polluting water...and air.

Here's the Public Comment info:
