ALBANY — The Cuomo administration announced Wednesday that it would ban hydraulic fracturing in New York State, ending years of uncertainty by concluding that the controversial method of extracting gas from deep underground could contaminate the state’s air and water and pose inestimable public-health risks...
That conclusion was delivered publicly during a year-end cabinet meeting called by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in Albany. It came amid increased calls by environmentalists to ban fracking, which uses water and chemicals to release natural gas trapped in deeply buried shale deposits.

Cuomo is in the pocket of Big Saudi.
Moron.
Yep.
Liberalism is a philosophy of impoverishment.
Proved.
Notice how all Democrats are top scientists when it comes to stopping energy production?
Pray America is waking
Silly Sally Dilly Dalley dumbo. Even the Feds have researched and determined fracking to be safe. They made this finding even though the “finders” were opposed to fracking.
Did Pennsylvanian Rig Workers contribute to his campaign funds?
Once again the NYC politicians give the middle finger to Upstate NY. Cuomo lost NY outside the NYC metro area in the recent gubernatorial election. Upstate needs to get out of the clutches of NYC and perhaps join Pennsylvania.
That figures. Playing to the base. Which is the majority in that state.
As gas prices have dropped and Russia’s economy in free fall I Knew that this was coming. Since there is not a Democratic Governor in North Dakota the courts will next get involved. Maybe Barry will issue a memorandum or executive order as well.
And...strangely enough, oil prices just spiked: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3238209/posts?page=1
Coincidence, I’m sure.
It’s too bad that oil is so easily moved around.
When states actively discourage drilling, fracking, etc... a 100% premium should be added to the price of oil in that state.
Good for New York. They don’t need the jobs and revenue. It might erode the Democrat voting base.
lousy sob
We know what’s best for you.
“Citing health risks”....This coming from a lib who bans people the right to defend themselves.
Hope they all freeze their asses off.
Bye, bye royalties and employment!
