Not sure how gas prices in DC are even tangentially related to a fracking spill in PA, but thanks for playing.

For what it's worth, I've not seen fracking for natural gas have any impact whatsoever on gas prices, either nationally, or locally in the areas where the stuff is drilled. Whether they drill or not, gas prices continue to climb (in fact, they're climbing while the fracking is still going on). And if they WERE somehow related, I'd be happy to pay $5-6/gal for gasoline to keep the fracking out of my area.

Dave,

It is depressing...I can only hope that a few isolated incidents like this will be all it takes for the people and their elected officials to make a stand.
