Hancock County Resident Tells Officials NatGas Can Save Schools

Hancock County, WV, is located in the tippy top of the northern panhandle of West Virginia, surrounded by Pennsylvania on one side and Ohio on the other. Yet somehow Hancock County has been left out of the Marcellus/Utica bonanza happening all around it. It's not like there isn't good rock under Hancock. Every other county that touches Hancock has drilled M-U wells within the last year. However, we can't find any permits for a single shale well in Hancock. Ever. What gives?
