I read the paper, and it was only a topical solution of retinyl palmitate that was not combined in sunscreen. They just stated the obvious: when you use Vitamin A or its derivatives, it increases your sensitivity to the sun, hence the reason you should wear sunblock to protect your skin. When Vitamin A is combined with other ingredients, the interactions may be different, which could cause it to act as an antioxidant rather than a potential carcinogen. Have you taken organic chemistry?? You also failed to mention that, in the paper itself, the authors stated that derivatives of Vitamin A are used to treat skin cancer....so your argument here seems pretty biased, and for you to extrapolate this study to sunscreens (since their conclusion was that retinyl palmitate leads to an increased risk of skin cancer) is a little premature.

A new Manhattan Institute report by University of Wyoming professor Timothy Considine estimates that a typical Marcellus well generates some $2.8 million in direct economic benefits from natural gas company purchases; $1.2 million in indirect benefits from companies engaged along the supply chain; another $1.5 million from workers spending their wages, or landowners spending their royalty payments; plus $2 million in federal, state and local taxes. Oh, and 62 jobs. SOURCE: WSJ A Tale of Two Shale States Pennsylvania's gain vs. New York's missed opportunity.

Did you contact the gas company to see their response to this, has he contacted them for reciprocation? Progress has some bumps. One question you need to ask is what is worse, creating infrastructure or having our country become so reliant on others for fuel that we severely cripple our growth and independence? Would he still be complaining if he owned the mineral rights?
