Gov.
Tom Corbett is attacking anti-drilling activists as the "unreasoning
opposition'' who accept the nation can land a space vehicle on Mars but
don't believe energy companies can safely harvest gas a mile under the
earth's surface. Corbett spoke Thursday
at a Marcellus Shale industry conference in Philadelphia. He says
Pennsylvania is reaping an economic bounty from natural gas despite "predictions of disaster and the fearful warnings from people with no
understanding of the industry.''
Activists opposed to the extraction technique known as hydraulic
fracturing . Protesters portray shale-gas drilling as bad for the
environment and public health.
