The Marcellus Shale Coalition is an industry coalition that fights against environmental protections sought by citizens facing the prospect of methane gas drilling near their water supplies. It is engaged in an extensive state and federal lobbying campaign to protect the financial interests of the corporate members of the coalition. Its PR material describes the Marcellus Shale Coalition as "an organization committed to the responsible development of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale geological formation and the enhancement of the region’s economy that can be realized by this clean-burning energy source. The members of the coalition work with our partners across the region to address issues with regulators, local, county, state and federal government officials and communities about all aspects of producing clean-burning, job-creating natural gas from the Marcellus Shale."[1] The coalition says that is has over 90 members. These corporations are interested in maximizing their profit from methane gas extraction in the Northeastern U.S. and minimizing regulations which would help protect watersheds within this region, including the safe drinking water of millions of Americans and the security of streams and lakes in the area. *****
