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.”
