Chesapeake Bay Region:
“A company that’s leasing oil and gas rights in Virginia’s
rural coastal plain has tapped a gusher of concern. Some people worry that
drilling could pollute waters in the Chesapeake Bay region and turn pastoral
Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula counties into noisy industrial zones.
But the president of the Texas company acquiring the leases,
Shore Exploration & Production Corp., said drilling could turn landowners
into millionaires and help the environment by providing relatively
clean-burning natural gas… Much of the bay-region controversy centers on a
drilling method called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.”
