The Citizens Marcellus Shale Commission

http://citizensmarcellusshale.com/

The Citizens Marcellus Shale Commission was formed by Pennsylvania civic and environmental organizations to assess the impacts, both positive and negative, of natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale and to identify the steps needed to ensure drilling occurs in a responsible manner.

 

The Citizens Marcellus Shale Commission was formed by eight civic and environmental organizations to assess the impacts, both positive and negative, of natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale and to identify the steps needed to ensure drilling occurs in a responsible manner.

 

Natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale will have tremendous and long-lasting impacts on Pennsylvania’s environment and communities. Governor Tom Corbett’s Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission, heavy with industry representatives, told only part of the story. The citizens of Pennsylvania have a different story to tell!

 

The Citizens Commission will hold five hearings across Pennsylvania to seek citizen perspectives on the Marcellus Shale.
