On a weekend trip near Monticello, New York during the summer of 2010, my family and I visited some friends of ours, a married couple we’ve known for years.
Over lunch, I mentioned that we had passed by several anti-fracking signs on our way to their home. Gasland had recently aired on HBO and I was curious what our friends thought about fracking (aka high-volume, horizontal hydraulic fracturing), so I asked them.
There was a pause; our friends looked at each other uneasily. Long story short, in 2009 they had leased some land they own in Pennsylvania to a gas drilling company. I can’t remember what I said but suffice it to say, I was taken aback.
