Doubtful! Google fair . org article 4477 for their article on TV News, paid for by Gas & Oil dollars. They found News has given scant objective coverage to the issue, but accepted hours and hours of ads. This issue is bigger than Environment VS Economy. This is Big Biz/Big Gov versus the Little Guy. It is a flashpoint for the health of our democracy. Who ya think gonna win? Us with no budget? Or Gas & Oil with their billions? But we must try.

Ask Rick Rock about lighting up tapwater in a house he owned years ago near Albany NY. I believe it was a leaking buried gas line but the principal is similar. They pump high pressure into wells to "frack" the gas out. So what does this do to groundwater, watersheds, water tables,etc. Very tricky messing with mother nature!

Pete has done more for the Hudson than any living person.

Perfect & to the point. 60,000 New Yorkers took the time to comment during the comment period. Each one represents 100 others who did not take the time but feel the same way (how politicians guage public opinion). Thats the most comments in history for an environmental issue.

Get a clue gov.

I guess Pete couldn't actually spend the time to actually present an argument huh?
