Gas Company Won’t Drill in New York Watershed
---------------------------------------------



Here in New York, a major gas company has announced it won’t drill for
gas inside the state’s main watershed. The decision by the Chesapeake
Energy Corporation follows growing public opposition to a state plan
that would allow gas drilling inside the Marcellus Shale, which supplies
drinking water to some 15 million people, including nine million New
Yorkers.
