There are underground coal fires in Pennsylvania that have been burning for a century. When they link up with the crap they are fracking with there may not be a Pennsylvania.

When they are done "Fracking PA" literally, you can use another word there if you wish, they will pick up move out and the remnants of what was will look like the landscape of coal regions in the 1970's. Anyone that's been to the coal regions, will know this well. Nevermind the risk to the Susquehanna and other waterways that feed it.

Agriculture, education,government administration and medicine all stand out. The lowest unemployment rates are Centre County/ State College( education) and Harrisburg/ Carlisle/Lebanon ( government and agriculture). The worst are rust and coal belt towns. Scranton, Schuylkill county, etc.
