Erie's oil wells are likely to multiply in 2007, and the residents there will probably not be able able to do anything about it. The oil drilling I commented about back before Thanksgiving continues, with more on the way. The Town's attorney will update the Board of Trustees tomorrow night on the town's legal capabilities to control the drilling, which amounts to almost nothing.
State laws control the aspects of drilling, and EnCana (the oil company - click on "Jonah" to see local land they own) owns the mineral rights. They are simply allowed in, with noise and access issues only minimally regulated. Read about it more in the Daily Camera.
