In Gorsline v Fairfield Township, neighbors have sued to stop a conditional use permit for driller Inflection Energy--essentially stripping away landowners' property rights in the process. After losing in a lower court, Gorsline et al appealed (being sponsored by Big Green groups PennFuture and Delaware Riverkeeper). If the decision is found "for" Gorsline, it would effectively end Marcellus Shale drilling in Pennsylvania.
