there's also talk of a big find in eastern ohio...
i wonder just how many states have these potential deposits... -
They've been finding quite a bit of natural gas in eastern OH, PA, WV, and NY for a few years now, it's super busy up this way, lots of sand to be hauled.

There was a man called in on the local radio station. He sells welding equiptment.Said business is night and day the difference between northern PA and southern NY,
