Hi Everyone,

One other point to consider is that National Fuel's CEO David Smith sits on the Advisory Council to the Dean of the UB Law School. National Fuel is one of the biggest frackers in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale region through their subsidiary Seneca Resources Corporation.

It might be worth asking what role David Smith's membership on that board has to play in the university sponsoring pro-fracking/industry "experts".

Would love to get a report from folks who are able to go!

Sara
