About

GasStation: The Gas Station Blog is independently produced by Joyce and Lucy for anyone who wants to learn about the Marcellus and the impact that production of natural gas from this source will have on our regional and national energy needs, the economy and the environment. We are not geologists, economists or environmentalists. Joyce’s background is information technology and Lucy’s background is healthcare. We are neighbors who believe that important decisions need to be made and supported in order to realize the potential of the Marcellus and that those decisions are best made when individuals have a command of the facts. To that end this blog includes news of the day as well as links to reputable sites representing industry, government, environmentalists, coalitions and academia. We hope you find it of value.
