The Marcellus Shale: The Politics of Gas

Posted on July 21, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

DC Bureau’s documentary “The Marcellus Shale: The Politics of Gas” reveals the controversy surrounding natural gas production in New York. While skeptics of production fear hydraulic fracturing, a widely used technique to extract gas, will ruin the state’s pristine waterways, proponents tout potential economic benefits. The political situation surrounding natural gas in New York is tainted. DC Bureau discovered the same year a powerful republican state senator endorsed industry-drafted revisions to gas mining laws, his law firm represented the largest natural gas producer in the state. Partners at the firm also advised local residents on real estate transactions involving mineral rights. In addition, DC Bureau revealed a liberal Upstate congressman championed strict control over hydraulic fracturing at the same time his wife lobbied for the American Association of Professional Landmen, whose members acquired gas leases in the state for energy companies. With investors rallying support to drill in the New York portion of the Marcellus Shale – which geological experts say may hold the world’s largest store of natural gas, the race to tap into natural gas in this pre-Jurassic formation has begun. added by: DCBureau
