Gas Drilling Delaware Basin

This Feb. 10, 2021, photo shows the Philadelphia side of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge spanning the Delaware River. The Delaware River Basin Commission voted Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021, to permanently ban natural gas drilling and fracking because it poses too great of a risk to the the river and its tributaries that supply drinking water to Philadelphia and half the population of New York City. The ban applies to two counties in Pennsylvania's northeastern tip that are part of the nation's largest gas field, the Marcellus Shale. (Matt Rourke/AP)
