Cabot Oil & Gas Does it Again – $2.5 Million Gift to Lackawanna College

do it againEveryone knows how mercenary and evil those oil and gas companies are. They're just in it for the buck. Rape and pillage poor Mother Earth--pollute the air, pollute the water, pollute everything! Those shale drillers are actually some of the worst, ya know. That's what the anti-drilling left would have you believe. That's the meme constantly drummed by mainstream media. Throw in a "Halliburton loophole" and "Dimock" or maybe a "Pavillion, Wyoming" and you're good to go with the typical mainstream coverage of our industry. Just a teeny, tiny problem...none of it is true. MDN previously told you about Cabot Oil & Gas' largess in helping raise $4.4 million for a rural hospital in Montrose, PA (see Cabot Effort Raises $4.4 Million for PA Physicians Clinic). Of that $4.4 million, Cabot themselves donated $2.2 million to the kitty. That is serious money folks. And now, Cabot has done it again. Today, if you're reading this on April 11, 2014, Cabot announced a $2.5 million gift to Lackawanna College (Scranton, PA). The gift will directly fund the School of Petroleum & Natural Gas located in New Milford, PA. It marks the largest single private donation in the history of Lackawanna College. Kudos to Cabot! Cabot is a sterling company--one of the backbones of the Marcellus Shale, the biggest (and best) shale play in the United States...
