Shale Drilling Safe and Successful on Ohio Public Lands for Years

In January of this year, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed House Bill (HB) 507 into law, a new law that expands the ability to drill for oil and gas in state parks and also legally redefines natural gas as a source of “green energy” (see OH Gov. Signs Bill Expanding Drilling in State Parks, NatGas “Green”). The new law has torqued off the radical left in the state. You would think from the comments by greenies that drilling on and under public land will be the end of days. Except we have a shining example of successfully and safely drilling shale wells on Ohio public lands for years: The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD).
