I need to apologize. I have been harshing on the Marcellus Shale Coalition for their loud calls for boycotting the City of Pittsburgh and asking why they do not engage in similar tactics with New York State which has a much more extensive moratorium on Marcellus Shale development. Yet, I guess I was wrong to a degree. According to this story out of Albany, it sounds like the shale industry is in general attacking New York as well. The money quote (literally) is:
“New York was the butt of many jokes by speakers involved with Pennsylvania development. One thanked New York for sending all of the investment capital to Pennsylvania.”
Wow. “Sending all of their investment capital to Pennsylvania”. How often do you hear folks proclaiming how business or investment friendly Pennsylvania is? I’d get some of these people doing commercials for the next Pennsylvania economic development marketing campaign. Like Jeff Daniels does for Michigan.
