Support legislation to reign in out of control natural gas drilling industry!

In the past two years, the natural gas industry has recklessly endangered the safety of Pennsylvania's waterways. Just this September, thousands of gallons of dangerous fluids, like diesel fuel and hydrochloric acid, have been spilled in multiple incidents in our state. Sadly, that's just the beginning when it comes to kind of accidents that have endangered our environment and our health.

Take action now: Ask your Representative to support critical legislation that would protect Pennsylvania's water from drillers.

It would not be so bad if we did a better job of watching drillers. That's why Rep. Bud George wants to make it the law that drill sites have to be visited by inspectors multiple times.

Help get your representative to support critical legislation sponsored by Bud George to better regulate the gas drilling. This bill requires the Department of Environmental Protections to:

  • Require inspections of every well multiple times during the life of that well.
  • Require drillers to take more care when drilling nearby residential drinking water wells.
  • Require drilling operators disclose chemical ingredients in hydro-fracking fluids.
  • Require realistic bonding on wells to insure the Commonwealth against potential future contamination and leaks.

The gas industry needs to play by the same rules as everyone else. Urge your representative to support HB 2213!
