The effect of an 80% drop in natural gas prices on incomes of farmers in rural areas in Pennsylvania is shown here. Farmers have leased rights to drill for natural gas under their farms for checks that are now smaller as pries have dropped. There are fewer jobs as a result of reduced drilling. Fracking is an issue in Pennsylvania and both candidates have supported fracking. Harris looks at it from a bigger perspective for cost of living action, and fossil as a transitional fuel as investments are made in renewable and solar. Farmers are not naive and question whether "drill baby drill" is the answer to their problems. Here in Pennsylvania there is also the need for transmission so that the natural gas can be transported to other regions to generate electricity.
