Pennsylvania based blog covering many of the economic and ethical impacts of gas drilling for the people who are living with it.

We are among a group of property owners who have had the dual experience of receiving royalties from gas wells, then having our property rights seized for an underground natural gas storage field in the depleted gas wells.

This became a transformative two-year fight for our rights against eminent domain actions launched by Texas-based Spectra Energy Corporation, a natural gas storage company, and backed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

It is not a level playing field legally, economically or ethically for private property owners.  Our fight led to the development of this website which focuses specifically on property rights that come under pressure from energy and utility companies.
