XTO is a member of the [[Marcellus Shale Committee]], which represents itself as a committee of citizens concerned about the negative consequences of natural gas drilling across the northeastern U.S., but is more accurately an industry [[front group]] for oil and gas companies created in 2008. The Marcellus Shale Committee asserts that its goal is to promote "the responsible development of natural gas from the [[Marcellus Shale]] geological formation in Pennsylvania and the enhancement of the Commonwealth's economy that can be realized by this clean-burning energy source."<ref>[http://www.pamarcellus.com/about.php "About the Marcellus Shale Committee"], Marcellus Shale Committee, accessed November 2009.</ref>
