Street Talk for December 08, 2008

Question of the week: Do you think natural-gas drilling should be restricted by the government?

“I think that the people should regulate it, voting along with independent environmental agencies.

G o v e r n m e n t officials who make the calls are making the money off the drilling or are friends with the big companies. Impacts on the environment should be looked at with the fate of the world first, not how much money a few already-rich men can make off it.”
Casey Ward, explorer, New Hampshire

“No, I want them to drill wherever they want to drill.”
Michael Minutolo, business owner, Oneonta

“Yes, I think there should be government regulation so people aren’t taken advantage of when they are drilling.”

Cathy Michelitsch, Otego

``I think they should oversee it, so that people are safe.”
Roger Hillstrom, retired, Delhi

“No, I don’t think they should do it. I think they should use more wind power, like they do out west.”
Skip Hendrickson, self employed, Stamford

“I think that if they are going to do it, they should do it where it’s not going to affect the farmers. The two go hand in hand. You can’t protect one natural resource and take from another. I think they need to do a little more research on it. They are probably looking on the economic side of it, not the environment.”

Janine Sprague, nurse, Sidney
