Move On To Ban Lake Erie Drilling
State committees moved to impose a new ban on natural gas drilling in Lake Erie after Governor Shapp ended an eight year drilling ban last week due to a gas shortage. The Senate Environmental Resources Committee and House Conservation Committee approved bills to ban off and gas drilling in the lake.
