This is more fun to watch than a 3DHD sci-fi flick. Ever since the news hit that the Susquehanna was #1 on American Rivers' annual "Most Endangered" list today because of natural gas drilling, both the Marcellus Shale Coalition and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission have been trying to discredit two of the most well-known and widely-respected conservation groups in the country.
Shame on them.
The ripple effect of this designation has just begun to spread. If Tom Ridge is still acting as their consultant, perhaps he should advise them to shut up for a few days and let the waters calm a bit. Otherwise; the more they bark, the more attention they will draw to themselves and the issue.
Kudos to American Rivers and its partners. B.A.D. fully supports their call for a complete moratorium. Period.
