This is a rant I know - but sometimes those who purport so loudly to "care" forget who in our society needs "caring for". Stopping fracking in NY certainly does not hurt the industry. Who needs more supply?

This is a long road, and I think someone has written about it some time back. But John should not get credit for this, as it was all Paul.

New York should start fracking, say T. Boone Pickens, Michael Bloomberg

excerpts:

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and energy tycoon T. Boone Pickens met over pizza in New York City on Feb. 21 at a news conference featuring the city's first natural gas-fueled food truck, where they also discussed New York state's policies on hydraulic fracturing...

..."It is up to the governor, but I personally have said we should be fracking, not in the watershed, but we should be fracking. … About 13,000 people get killed every year by the pollutants from coal-fired plants. … [Also, as] Boone alluded to, getting oil from outside this country is expensive and it transfers our wealth to people who are trying to destroy our lives. … Of all the things we can do, natural gas isn't perfect, but it certainly looks like it can make this country energy-independent and reduce dramatically the pollutants going into the air," Bloomberg said.

"Does it have some risks? Everything has some risks, but unless you are willing to give up electricity, and give up automobiles and trucks and airplanes and go back to living in a cave, you're going to have to get it from someplace. This is the best of all of the alternatives, and I would hope that the governor would come to that conclusion," he said...
