I dont know how many will go for it , from the pic I saw the neighborhood gathered and were holding a large banner that said we cant drink money. With fracking generating controversy in Pennsylvania, a gas company in one section of the state is taking an unusual step to quell concerns of opponents who fear the controversial practice will create environmental and health problems - offering residents cash in exchange for a hold harmless agreement, according to ProPublica. In Washington County, near Pittsburgh, EQT Corporation offered households near the site where it is drilling about a dozen new wells $50,000 each if they agree to release the company from any legal liability, for current operations as well as those to be carried out in the future. The agreement covers potential health problems and property damage, and gives the company blanket protection from claims over noise, dust, light, smoke, odors, fumes, soot, air pollution or vibrations, the ProPublica reports says.nola/politics/index.ssf/2014/07/report_residents_near_fraking.html
