The Cuomo administration's proposed regulations (High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing-Revised Proposed Regs, ID No. ENV-39-11-00020-RP) will make fracking beneficial for New Yorkers. Current Fracking best processes and proposed regulations make the extraction of natural gas by Fracking a substantially safe process, and I urge this administration to lift the ban.
Why is this important?
With the advent of current technologies and regulations, the Fracking process is a fundamentally safe method to extract natural gas from our deep, abundant deposits. To lessen our dependency on foreign energy, and provide a cleaner source of domestic energy for electric generation, the ban should be lifted in New York State.
