This area is considered the Marcellus Shale region and has affected everyone living in this area. From poisoned water supplies, imminent earthquakes, and clean energy, we will be presenting all the pros and cons of the Marcellus Shale industry in a fun documentary format. Our information will include drilling, laws and regulations, and the wonderful resource of natural gas.
