Editor,

Let me begin by saying that I am not an officer for any associations and I only speak for myself. In a recent inquiry to this newspaper which I am a subscriber to, I was told that the list of concerns I have regarding the possible impact on 100 percent of us from future hydrofracking are not concerns this paper has the manpower to address and may not necessarily need answers to. I disagree and provide the following list of concerns that everyone should consider and if any of you have factual answers to (and not just your non-researched feelings about) these concerns consider your own reply to this letter:

Insurance Companies: Given the recent disclosure from Nationwide insurance and their decision to restrict coverage for clients involved with hydrofracking, ask your own insurance company if they expect to follow suit. Ask your insurance company if they expect to raise your car insurance rates when the increased volume of traffic from truck haulers and in all likelihood vehicular accidents occur. If your neighbor’s land is fracked and your foundation is cracked will your homeowner’s policy cover it?
