I live in PA, a well was drilled 150 feet from our property line, completed in Jan of 2010. Of our cows that bred, we had two still births, this year all of the cows were bred, took and at the follow up blood test at 3 months, only two out of 20 remained pregnant. This has never happened before. Something has gone awry with their reproduction. It is hurting us in the pocket. Now what do we do? We cannot sell cows that should be safe in calf and are open. We do not know the long term effect, is the cow ever going to breed now? How can you sell the meat when you don't know if it is contaminated and with what by product. We are waiting to see, we have no other choice. I am glad to see this legislation. I live in PA, a well was drilled 150 feet from our property line, completed in Jan of 2010.

What will you use for water? Do you like earthquakes? Ever been in one? Do you love West Virginia? If you love West Virginia you would not be pushing fracking. What an idiot.

We prefer that they develop this natural resourse and create a solid economic base similar to Alaska but if our legislature is selfish we will see cracker plants and drillers move to neighboring states. Get your heads out of the coal mines and let's develop our natural resources--coal/gas/geothermal, etc--in a productive way. By the way, a severance tax is already imposed and should be evaluated and perhaps it could be used more benefically. Drop the politics and go for the benefit of WV.
