US natural gas drilling boom linked to pollution and social strife

Residents of Pennsylvania have
begun to call themselves, "little
Texas". The race for hydraulic
fracturing, 'fracking' is in full
force there. Without proper
research to insure the safety of
aquifers, air or soil. These folks
are experiencing the destruction
of their way of life.
Here, I would like to interject
a thought from Tim Ruggerio,
who says they are not making
cars to run on natural gas, or
that most power plants remain
coal-fired, so where is all this
natural gas? They have foreign
drilling co's. and foreign investors.
So where are all the trillions of ft.
of natural gas that has been
extracted?
