...and it has anything to do with the environmental impacts of Marcellus Shale drilling, disregard every syllable.
Here's the latest from another PSU Professor as they attempt to discredit GASLAND:
But Michael Arthur, a Penn State professor of geosciences, countered that most of the evidence taken from the film were from shallow coalbed methane systems in Wyoming and Colorado, where there is potential for groundwater contamination from fracking.
“That potential does not exist in Pennsylvania,” Arthur said.
Really? Does NOT exist?
As I've offered previously on this blog, I highly recommend that the administration of Penn State University muzzle these folks from making any statements related to the exploitation of the Marcellus Shale. There is no question in this blogger's mind these guys are intimately and inappropriately connected to the natural gas drilling industry and their various coalitions at many levels.
None.
To that end, with the written permission of the program's host, I recorded a presentation by Dr. Engelder in early 2010. If I can figure out how to upload the entire video to my Vimeo site, I'll post it over the weekend. If you have any malingering questions after viewing it as to who any of the speakers actually works for, they should all be finally put to rest.
