Newly elected Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, said Wednesday that he plans to pull together like-minded members of Congress to push for fuller development of the natural gas reserves in the Marcellus Shale.For newbies, the Marcellus Shale in New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and neighboring states is a natural gas formation, not oil, like the Bakken.
