Finally! Our NY State Assembly did something right passing a moratorium on Natural Gas drilling, called Fracking, nearby to New York City's glorious water supply:
Tonight the New York State Assembly approved a moratorium on gas drilling in New York City's watershed, a huge victory for those of us who have been fighting so hard to protect our drinking water from toxic chemicals.Protecting New York's environment is at the top of our agenda in the Assembly majority and we will not let anything stand in the way of making sure all New Yorkers have clean, safe water. When it comes to keeping pollution and dangerous chemicals out of our water supply, there is simply no acceptable level of risk.
This is a big win for the environment. At least for the time being...
