I would also hate to see the natural beauty of the area fall victim to drilling apparatuses and even risk these types of energy alternatives that aren't even brought to the table because they're not being sponsored by some large corporation. I agree that we need jobs especially in those small upstate towns but we all know why it's so bad. Those towns were built on some manufacturing or other type of industry, be it a lumberyard or any type of source of employment. You can't replace all that was with service economy. We need to restore manufacturing in America and do so in an environmentally conscious manner. Have factories powered by renewable energy, not another Starbucks in a struggling town. ^ I have frequented the Catskills on a regular basis since a young age would like to move there in the long run.

I believe this will definitely improve our economy. I am sure after this many years in the business, the oil companies know what they are doing. I don't believe the DEC is doing us any favor by trying to keep them away from here, so the city can keep trying to buy up our land for next to nothing. I live in Downsville, NY and I am not in the watershed. I am for gas drilling in our town. I believe this will definitely improve our economy.
