FOX 40 WICZ TV – Stormy Meeting Among Gas Drilling Factions [1/27/2011] – News, Sports, Weather, Contests and More – Binghamton, NY.

Thursday night economist and Delaware County landowner Dr. Jannette Barth drilled a crowd of local residents at the Vestal Public Library on what she says are startling facts about gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale.

Dr, Barth finds that natural gas drilling isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be and says it’s not the way to go for economic relief.

“Gas industry type things like fossil fuel extraction industries
