Here is an excerpt from Paul Krugman's Opinion in the NYTimes Nov.6, 2011

"Let’s face it: a large part of our political class, including essentially the entire G.O.P., is deeply invested in an energy sector dominated by fossil fuels, and actively hostile to alternatives. This political class will do everything it can to ensure subsidies for the extraction and use of fossil fuels, directly with taxpayers’ money and indirectly by letting the industry off the hook for environmental costs, while ridiculing technologies like solar.
So what you need to know is that nothing you hear from these people is true. Fracking is not a dream come true; solar is now cost-effective. Here comes the sun, if we’re willing to let it in."

Letter from over 400 health Professionals to Cuomo: "On behalf of the undersigned organizations and health professionals, we are writing with regard to the revised draft of the Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS) on the Oil, Gas, and Solution Mining Program issued in full in September 2011. We are greatly concerned about the omission of a critical issue related to the development of natural gas using high-volume hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”: human health impacts.

PSE Testimony at Public Hearing on the Revised Draft SGEIS Governing Natural Gas Drilling Download
Rss         Translate to:  
This testimony can be broken into three parts. The first, written by physicians, discusses human health effects and the current SGEIS’s omission of these considerations. The second part, written by environmental scientists, discusses how there is no evidence that water filtration facilities at publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) provide any more protection than the unfiltered water supplies in the New York City and Syracuse watersheds that have warranted a ban on this form of gas extraction. The third part of this testimony, co-written by an engineer and environmental scientists, discusses how a life-cycle analysis of unconventional natural gas extraction demonstrates this process has a significantly greater global warming potential than coal or conventional natural gas.
