John Walliser, PEC, Reviews Marcellus Shale Report Recommendations

John Walliser, PA Environmental Council, reviews recommendations in a report calling for swift action on new regulations and greater oversight of drilling and extraction of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale formation, a major gas field that lies deep beneath much of Pennsylvania.
