“..The EPAs report this week finding little evidence of water contamination form fracking has spurred calls for Cuomo to reverse his decision.
Activists in California have put Gov. Jerry Brown (D) under strong pressure to ban fracking there, but have thus far been unsuccessful.
Industry groups fear a patchwork of rules for fracking across municipal lines and want the regulatory questions to be settled on a state-by-state basis...”
I’m not so sure I can agree with the premise. Fracking is very popular here in blue Pennsylvania. If you want to see Pennsylvania vote red in the next presidential election, let the Dem candidate come out against fracking.
Good comment.
The writer either avoided Pennsylvania because he believed it would slip by unnoticed (as it ruins the liberal line) or he didn’t do his homework.
Yet, in their ongoing campaign to sway weak minded voters, the media will do its best to shout down debate and paint voices in opposition to “green” concerns as extreme, anti-science ravings.
Hopefully, reason will prevail as people realize that the economy is being suppressed. “Green” issues do not chart high on voters’ concerns.
It is regional in PA. “The T” is quite red.
“social effects of fracking”?
Is the “social effect” wealth vs. non wealth?
Yep, the EPA under Obama is famous for taking the side of Big Oil.
In case somebody did get it
/S
Perhaps a re-title of the article is in order?? Something along the lines of “Blue state bass-turds volunteer their citizens to freeze to death in the dark”???
PA may have voted rat for President since 1992 but it is best described as a swing state.
As an aside, “red” means commie in my book, these media colors annoy me.
bttt
The divide is not red and blue but sane and insane
the next fundamental change for America is to obliterate the concept of political correctness
Pennsylvania is in Republican control (lousy Republicans) but for the Governor who won be default as the last Republican increased fuel taxes by 28 cents per gallon and failed to privatize our state liquor store system.
Pennsylvania votes Dem for national elections based on the 105% fabricated vote coming out of mostly Philadelphia.
Statewide elections in non-Presidential years tend to go Republican.
It is a great example of liberal fraud.
Yes.
The ones who want a strong country versus those who are anti-American.
Which is precisely why the media types "reversed" the meaning...to avoid having the Democrat candidates associated with socialism.
It bothers me that “our side” by and large doesn’t care, some (the “Redstate” Blog) have even embraced the color scheme. When challenged they say irrelevant nonsense like “red is a powerful color”.
Personally, I don’t care HOW it’s done, enviro dingbats be damned.
Each and every ounce of oil and cubic inch of gas harvested
within, and by the Continental 48, means every penny
less for any of those ‘yo momma ragheads’ in the
middle east.
I know a lot of “red” people against Fraking.
I lived in NY State until after I retired; the difference between blue NY and the PA countryside is like night and day. But that doesn't mean that the least aware voters here are any smarter than the least aware voters in NY.There are gullible voters concentrated in every major city. People who are easily swindled into voting for shadenfreude even when their own best interests are actually damaged by it.
Starve and freeze in the dark, you luddite bastards.
