state line between pennsylvania and new york, pennsylvania is driving and new york is the press because they won't let them do anything. the geology is the same underground. we got these great chances now with the federal system. that is what we are really all about as our country. not every good idea is invented in washington. very few of them are. look out there beyond the capital beltway and let's learn from each other. >> you lead the way in so many ways as we were talking about this morning and building heritage as a permanent institution. helping to build the conservative movement to this vital force is a major force in american politics and changing the think tank culture here, not only here but it can be said across the country and even the world. the question so many people here would like to have you address is what is next for you? >> the neatest thing and the first thing i want to say is thanks to jim demint and our board of trustees, they asked me to stay on and have an office on pennsylvania avenue, on the other side of capitol hill, 20% of the time, doing whatever i can t

only way is extra tax increases on the people of pennsylvania and businesses of pennsylvania.why i'm trying to keep the levels right now is to increase the business investment and groaft in pennsylvania. we're starting to see it. additional taxes is not in the best interest. >> you said you want pennsylvania to be the texas of the natural gas. >> yes, i have. >> how? how? >> well, we are becoming that because of the natural gas fields that we have with the term, the number one, but there's three other layers being in the third, and i forget what the fourth is at the moment, and if you measure in btus, our gas fields, our coal fields, our energy in pennsylvania, we're the second largest energy field in the world. we're the fifth largest energy producer in the united states right now and climbing. our electricity prices continue to go down making us attractive to businesses from other states and country to come to pennsylvania. we are doing everything we can to develop our energy industry in pennsylvania incoming, and you i talked about working with shell to create the et lean c

and it's hurt pennsylvania families. you know, i go to scranton and you see 10% unemployment and they're saying we get no help at all from this governor. we're making some great progress in some of our small towns and cities across pennsylvania. we have great biotech and life sciences. we have amazing opportunities in natural gas to do it right and that's what pennsylvanians say to me. let's get our priorities right. let's find someone who has the skills and experience and the know-how and the determination and the energy to fight for us and to get to -- you know, get to harrisburg and find those solutions and find those results and make it happen. >> if you were elected governor as a democrat and you had still a lot of republicans in the legislature, what are the issues on which you feel like you could move forward even with republicans who are likely to be opposed to you on a partisan basis but might be willing to work on practical matters? >> one advantage i have is i've been a legislator and i know that you need to b

many come to pennsylvania. we're doing everything we can to develop our energy industry in pennsylvania, including working with shell. >> i want to get to that in a second. i also want to ask about the impact fee. costieve he said it would more than $400 million and for a few years. 2012 rot in less than -- brought in less then 2011. how can you be getting more revenues? we do biggest complaint not put a severance tax and other states do, we have to compare apples to apples. texas does not hate a corporate and income tax -- does not have a corporate and income tax. pennsylvania does. these industries have been paying the natural gas industry since 2009, i think. this would have been additional tax. if you look at texas, the suspended their severance tax. create anve done is impact fee so 67% -- 63%, excuse me -- a fee on the drilling over a 10 year period goes back to the communities. it goes right back to the communities. it does not become part of the general fund budget. i think that is extremely important.

in rural pennsylvania they are drilling for gas. hydraulic fracturing bush's high pressure water into the rock to release valuable gas. opportunitiesht to the town. people made money it leasing to gas companies, and now the workers have arrived. business elite by 25%. >> it really improve my business. it brought a lot of people into the area. the people say, we have no idea what we are in store for. hopefully they are right. frakking creates dust and noise in the town in contrast to the beauty of the mountains. this bed-and-breakfast is led by eleanor, who has seen people cashing in by leasing their land. >> you are happy for your neighbor, but their good fortune ruin the hills,ano and the trees. >> it is time to spend a pay check from drilling for gas. >> once we get the pipeline done it is going to boost the economy. there is nothing here. >> it has brought more with the businesses and the people who rent have done very well. >> what has happened shows house tracking has the potential -- shows how frakking has the potential to red

lou: you visited a couple in pennsylvania who had polluted well water.he state said that no, it's not true. if you will, how important is this ruling that came today? >> this is the other side of the coin an argument. it potentially contaminate and has contaminated well water. it is just northwest of scranton, pennsylvania. wps was drilling wells around this property. high levels of methane. they claimed it was from the well. sixteen months to complete, the department of environmental protection said the methane that is in the well did not come from the wps deep well and more to the point it came from the same methane sources as contaminated salt springs state park about a mile away. what is known as a biogenic methane in that area and the pennsylvania dep said that is what is contaminating it, not the deep wells that were drilled by wps. this was another hole in the environment and that is that methane migration from these gas wells contaminated groundwater in going into people's drinking laws. there have been a couple of cases where that was the fact b

( laughter ). but now our secret chechen president has screwed the whole thing up. >> dzhokar tsarnaev has told f.b.i. agents about his role in the bombings but was we've just learned he did so before being advised of his moosh rights. >> investigators say the surviving bomb suspect has now stopped talking to them after he was read his miranda rights. >> stephen: no! why did we read him his miranda rights? if anything we should have read him his saman
