New maps show fracking infrastructure in PA & NY

Ever wonder how close you are to the nearest fracked gas pipeline? Or what a compressor station is?

Now you can find out with two maps that are newly launched for both New York State and Pennsylvania!

Take some time to explore these new maps and learn about the existing and proposed fracked gas infrastructure in Pennsylvania http://wikimapping.net/wikimap/gas.html and New York http://www.youareherenymap.org/

These maps show the required infrastructure for 10,000 gas wells currently in Pennsylvania. Now, imagine these maps with an increase in 10 times the number of wells and pipelines, which is the industry's stated goal.

Want to get connected with community groups in your area that are working on public education and organizing around proposed fracked gas infrastructure? Email [email protected] or [email protected] to get involved or learn about a training near you!

This work is made possible by a collaboration between Sane Energy Project and the Clean Air Council.

Sincerely,

Sam Koplinka-Loehr, Clean Air Council

Before the ban, there was a moratorium in effect for 7 years.

Thanks for posting.

Just this weekend, I passed a drilling pad or something huge and it was not on the map. Hopefully it gets on it in the future so I can see what it was. It was rather surprising to me how many items are on government land.
