Terrific story on WNYC. One of the finest pieces of local journalism I’ve heard/seen/read in a long time. Whatever your part in this effort, keep up the good work.

Excellent piece on The Takeaway today. I am located northeast of the Catskills and this area is being tested for gas exploration. Puts us in weird spot: gas is cleaner and cheaper than fuel oil for heating and electric generation. BUT, 14 residential wells were destroyed in North Brookfield, NY by gas drillers who contaminated the aquifer.
Excellent work! Thanks.
