Sorry, forgot the /sarcasm tag. But good points.
Contrarian view. We already have so damn much shale gas and oil in the ground, we don’t need NYS’s supply. Hold it in reserve for when we do need it.
Oversupply has already happened a couple times.
Another factor to consider is the development of additional technologies for other uses for natural gas. As those come along, then it will be time to open up fracking in NYS.
