Makes one wonder if Carl even has a clue about the harm being done in Marcellus-land. His crack sounds uncomfortably like a "screw you" to us and the other Marcellus folks.

More recently, according to the Wall Street Journal, Chesapeake's chief executive, Aubrey McClendon, has been touring the country alongside the Sierra Club's Carl Pope trumpeting the benefits of natural gas. Its biggest selling point is that it burns cleaner than coal and oil, though the impact of extracting it from deep shale formations is highly controversial. It also requires the use of large amounts of diesel fuel to keep compressors and other machinery operating 24/7. Responding to criticism from local affiliates, particularly in New York and Pennsylvania, Pope asked, "Will the 20% of the membership that happens to live in places where drilling is happening be unhappy? I'm sure that's true." So much for grassroots organizing.
