N.Y. Farmers Learn Fracking May Mean Drilling If Neighbors Agree

drilling-if-neighbors-agree

This article really showed how big of a problem fracking is becoming. A lady who
lives on an 170 acre property in upstate New York is facing potential fracking on her property. 
The land she lives on has been in her husbands family for over 150 years. Exxon Mobile has 
Offered the women Kris Vanslyke a deal to frack on her property, but she denied them. 
Recently Kris learned that she does not have to accept the deal because Exxon can build a 
well on one of her neighbors property, and pull the oil and gas out beneath her property. 
Kris Vanslyke is opposed to fracking because she is concerned about her own health, her 
drinking water, and the environment.
