Natural Gas Drilling

Natural gas deposits under the Earth have a huge supply of energy that we have yet to get. Natural Gas under New York State and other areas has been debated on whether drilling it get the gas is worth it or not. All of this gas could mean tons and tons of money and resources for the state of New York. This could overall boosts the United States economy. It produces more jobs and can be sold at a high expense due to its declining availability elsewhere. While many people would like to drill many people debate saying it is unsafe and can have many problems. They say the water used in the drilling could become polluted and run back into peoples drinking water. I still believe drilling should be done. It could greatly help our economy and save our dependence on OPEC countries.

1.) People do not want us to drill due to the fact that there is a chance that we may pollute our drinking water and pollute the surrounding environment. If this happens people and even animals may become extremely sick.

2.) People want us to drill because of the huge amount of money and energy that is located underground. People do not have an exact idea of how much gas is exactly underground, so there may be a lot more than predicted which could greatly help the economy.

With todays technology you think we would be able to make sure no contamination would be possible. Are anti drilling groups just saying this as an excuse or are we really not sure how to make sure we don't pollute?

Are their more anti drilling groups or pro drilling groups? Why can't people just go to the government and say hey we have a lot of natural gas that could be towards your benefit. I feel as if drilling will never occur without something like this happening,
