The incredible stupidity of my fellow New Yorkers continues to amaze me.

If you travel upstate especially to the Binghamton tri-cities area all you see is relics of a bygone industrial era that brought incredible prosperity and a strong middle class to the whole region.

Fracking would enable a natural gas powered manufacturing renaissance and recovery of a region the likes of which haven’t been seen in 50 years. And that is precisely why the enviro-whackos are against it.

Far better it continues to be a “tobacco road” for younger people with mass unemployment and government dependence mixed with a well off retirement class while the area continues to depopulate.

What an incredible waste.

Know the Binghamton area well. Half the people are low information types.

The smart ones have moved on. I'm thinking fracking won't happen there.
