The oil wells of NYS have been producing steadily, if not spectacularly, for over 125 years.
Yes, but that might get people out of dependency on Dhimmicraps.
Governor-elect Tom Wolf will put a stop to this progress in PA.
I think that states like New York, which prohibit fracking based upon (completely fabricated) risks to the environment and public health, while at the same time benefiting from the lower gas and gasoline prices generated by fracking in states which have shouldered those risks, are free riders. A federal tax of, say, $1.00 per gallon and an equivalent tax on natural gas should be imposed on jurisdictions prohibiting fracking, with the resulting revenue allocated exclusively to those jurisdictions permitting the practice. It’s only fair.
New York State’s liberal government has decided that its future lies with developing more and bigger federally supported plantations for moochers, illegals and other democrat victim groups.
They don’t want to encourage the growth of the population sector that is self supporting.
People who don’t rely on government handouts become dangerously independent and hard to control.
Let's put it this way. How much money do you think it takes to hire armies of lobbyists to push for oppressive regulations in the energy industry? How much money does it take to hire armies of lawyers to perpetually tie up every natural resource development in Court? Those lobbyists and lawyers aren't doing this for free; they expect to be paid. Very well paid.
Now ask this: Do you think that operation can be funded by grandma who sent in $20 bucks because she saw a photo of a sad looking polar bear in her issue of Time magazine?
No. No new taxes.
No federal government attempt to punish states for their decisions.
The market place, along with the jobs that go with them will do that sufficiently.
Now here in NH they are trying to stop The Pipeline.
I am referring to the Kinder Morgan 36” natural gas pipeline proposed to run through southern NH. The gas will come from NY & PA. We need it to make electricity up here in NH, MA, ME, CT. They have signs that are printed up that say NO NH PIPELINE.
Just take an “EED” and place it next to the first “N” on their signs.
The Dems always look to killing the golden goose.
“If the proposed pipeline were to be routed in New Hampshire, the proposed pipeline would follow the ROW of an existing power line in New Hampshire, which would minimize the impacts to the environment and landowners. The proposed power line route would be approximately 70 miles of 36-inch mainline routed through Southern New Hampshire with approximately 64 miles being co-located with an existing 345 kV power line corridor”
So, this gas pipeline route through NH would following an existing electric power line Right of Way for all but 6 miles. Yet, the nuts still do not want it. Good grief Charlie Brown.
Cuomo is a communist and doesn’t want economic growth.
67 years and 1.5 million fracks with zero, zip, nada problems in water contamination. Why does the Left deny science>>
I've heard the same actually. PA has no clue what its done to itself putting that guy in office.
Can’t have quasi-rural “upstate” counties shedding their reliance on state welfare, now, could they? Thanks thackney.
Wolf will have Democrat Party Civil War on his hands if he tries. I have been to fracking industry events, and seen all the local Democrat politicians, their eyes bulging out, having a multiple orgasm over all the new revenue streams.
It's not a joke...it's payback
