No one can possibly have received royalties from fracking in NY up to and including today. Plenty of conventional wells. We received a few dollars for leasing about 25 years ago but the well a quarter mile away didn't hit gas. This was ages before the dangers were revealed. Since then we've turned down all offers. If we don't sign a lease, we still can be sent royalties at a reduced rate, but we would have no liability for problems because we wouldn't be drilling partners. We're working hard to prevent fracking here and around the state and beyond.
