Actually the NY governor vetoed a bill that would have been stricter on fracing. His action allows non-horizontal wells to continue to frac. If he hadn’t vetoed the bill even they would have been shut down. Here is a story on his action:
And the recent news that some newer fracing formulas are edible is false. They use some edible ingredients, but are still unedible:
Nothing else in that gas field is edible. It was silly to portray the material injected into it as edible.
If what you say is true that is better news. However, in this Sundays Buffalo News (not the most reliable paper) it reported he issued a ban.
In all honesty I would take the word of a fellow freeper than the Buffalo News.
