Protect Our Drinking Water in New York State!

Natural gas is already plentiful and cheap. In fact, companies say it is too cheap compared to oil right now. Thus, now is not a good time to drill for more. Wait and let prices rise; landowners can then make more money.  In addition, if you wait further into the future, technology may improve to allow for non-toxic extraction methods.

Wait for the gas drilling companies to have a proven track record in Pennsylvania before letting them into New York State. We New Yorkers can wait. Why be the guinea pig? Let Pennsylvania be the guinea pig; they've already plunged headfirst into it in Pennsylvania.

The fact is there are people out there that must have nat. gas so for these people If we must drill for gas it makes sense to drill for it at the source of consumption on the island of manhattan. They have already bulldozed and paved their landscape and polluted their rivers to the point that they will not sustain life. That is where all the pipelines ultimately end up anyway, and these are the clowns that will be heating their buildings and powering their lights with the fuel. Its a win win.

Thanks for bringing this shocking practice into the light. If something can be changed, this video should do it.

Thank you for putting this succinct & informative piece together. Such a complex issue is hard to convey to others who are only exposed to Main Stream Media messages. Natural gas drilling regulations as presented in the NY DEC dSGEIS are NOT sufficient to protect the water, air and soil of NYS.
