Governor Wolf could take a lesson from the energy crisis Europe is experiencing, before it is too late for Pennsylvania, and stop pushing replacement of fossil fuels.

The beginning of fracking in Pennsylvania was tainted by rumors, my trip to Tunkhannock and Towanda quickly squashed all my fears.

I remember when I first heard about natural gas fracking.
