Fracking - where is it headed ?

[Griff]

I was in Dimock over the weekend when I went to the sheep dog trials at Sheepy Hallow in Hopbottom. Unlike New York where gas is highly politicized, I counted all of three gas related signs. One giant anti banner, one don't believe the liberal media sign, and one sign reminding people that the water in Dimock has been tested by the EPA and is safe to drink. Cabot sponsored the sheep dog trials and had a spokesman on hand to answer questions. It is a world view controversy. The "local" opposition is out of Ithaca, New York which as the bumper sticker says is "10 square miles surrounded by reality". People were polite and much more into the dogs than the controversy. Benny had a great time.
