If the majority of us say NO, then they cant drill. Its as simple as that. The City of Bedford said 'No' and didnt sign, and no drilling is going on in their town!

By being passive and signing because you think they will anyway, you are digging a hole you cant get out of. Have you bothered to do any research of your own or are you letting the gas executives woo you with their measly offerings? Please dont be passive, make an informed decision before you sign. They haven't drilled in our neighborhood yet because we havent signed anything yet. If we continue to not sign anything, they will continue to not drill in our neighborhood. Its as simple as that. yes, they will get to the gas underneath at somepoint with or without us signing, BUT they will have to work MUCH harder to get to it and they will have to do it MUCH farther away from our neighborhood. I could care less if they get to the gas under my soil, as long as they are not drilling right next door to my neighborhood. Worst Case Scenario. What If...? It may be rare, so far, but the odds of a major catastrophe are increasing daily. If a gas well did blowout in an urban neighborhood, what would happen? A gas well DID explode in rural Palo Pinto in ?‘05, leveling and burning one square mile, leaving behind a crater hundreds of feet wide. It?’s very easy to imagine the death and carnage a similar explosion would cause in our neighborhood. http://www.nbc5i.com/news/5551640/detail.html
Where Have All the Flowers Gone? If gas drillers get their way, there will be at least 3,000 gas wells in Fort Worth alone. Considering that pad sites require removal of all vegetation, Fort Worth will lose a minimum of 15,000 acres of greenspace over the next few years, from natural gas production. That is equal to more than 137 F.W. Botanic Gardens.
?“Clean Burning?”? Natural gas releases several types of carcinogens, including, benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene. The production of the gas denigrates our air, water and soil. A single well consumes millions of gallons of fresh water.

Duck & Cover! The most toxic material on the planet is a byproduct of gas drilling in the Barnett Shale: NORM (Naturally Occurring RADIOACTIVE Material). And you thought Iran was dangerous. Read more and see a slide show, here:
