PA Sen. Gene Yaw
Pennsylvania Senator Gene Yaw, who chairs the Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, recently had a sit-down with the editors of his hometown newspaper, the Williamsport Sun-Gazette. Yaw was "agitated," according to the editors, worked up over the fact PA has an abundance of shale gas but can't get it to market due to a lack of pipelines. He was also bent out of shape over the continuing issue of permit delays for new shale drilling by the state Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP). Yaw says if the DEP can't get its act together and approve simple permits for things like erosion and sedimentation control, the permits should (after a certain number of days) be automatically issued.
