I should have done that in the first place. This is an issue that directly affects brewers, and if we could focus on that, that would be great. Everyone's made some good points up till now, but I've got some comments in the moderation stack that have become shouting. We're not going to do that here. <br /><br />This will be a good conference, covering topics that need to be addressed <i>for brewers.</i> Let's leave it at that.

I think most of us "city people"just want public lands to be treated properly as they are our property as well. In the long term, our water supply will be so much more valuable than these gas deposits ever will be. I believe 50 years from the "rust belt" will be known as the "water belt". This needs to be protected as once it is damagedit takes a century or more to repair . Also look where tourism ranks in this state as an industry in terms of total GDP as well as growth.

No seriously, fracking is evil, but explain that to the impoverished communities and folks I grew up with. These people feel like they have won the lottery. I have a vocal anti drilling friend whose property is perhaps the only 450 acres of private property in Lycoming county that isn't being drilled. He stands to lose an estimate of $100,000 per year. <br />The entire county is leased. Landowner rights are gonna win out over the enviroment this time.<br /> <br />Heh, my verication word is "manpoot"charlie snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-47954025208429881222010-03-16T19:14:49.267-04:002010-03-16T19:14:49.267-04:00You're making history in PA, Lew, and I antici...You're making history in PA, Lew, and I anticipate good changes ahead for the consumer & brewer - look at the impact on tourism and visitation this could have = good work!Lucybeercookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412994196084406106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-14989528756138839642010-03-16T18:31:44.647-04:002010-03-16T18:31:44.647-04:00Sorry I got it up so late, Lucy; this event (and y...Sorry I got it up so late, Lucy; this event (and you) deserved better.

All too often, fracking mishaps leave rural residents and small businesses high and dry...<br /><br />Happy side note: people who come to the tasting and reception at Pittsford Wegmans will have a chance to sample artisan cheeses, craft brews, talk with brewers and water policy folks. Tickets are $20, sold online via Paypal here:<br /><br />http://bit.ly/dumUAb<br /><br />cheers, Lucy<br />conserve-greatlakes.comLucybeercookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412994196084406106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-20812278138171753432010-03-16T11:17:58.569-04:002010-03-16T11:17:58.569-04:00Fracking makes want to cryFracking makes want to cryAl Luccioninoreply@blogger.com
