It?s official: New York bans fracking - GoFuckYourself.com

wehateporn · 06-30-2015, 10:54 AM

New York State officially banned fracking for natural gas by issuing its final environmental impact statement, concluding a seven-year review. The environmental agency said fracking posed risks to land, water, natural resources and public health.

The release of the environmental impact statement on Monday concluded seven years of analysis by the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). It first issued a moratorium against fracking in 2008.

The agency received a staggering 260,000 comments over various drafts of its environment impact statement. In 2009, more than 13,000 public comments were made on its draft. A revised draft issued in 2011, which involved four public hearings around the state, received another 67,000 comments, and the second draft, with regulations over permit conditions, received an additional 180,000 comments.

?After years of exhaustive research and examination of the science and facts, prohibiting high-volume hydraulic fracturing is the only reasonable alternative,? said DEC Commissioner Joe Martens in a statement.

Then no gas that was extracted via fracking in any other state should flow into New York State.

Seems only fair to me.

Fine by me! Fracking creates an incredible amount of pollution and an incredible amount of damage. Heavier restrictions and greater responsibilities should be placed on companies that operate fracking wells, and they should also be heavily taxed, with the tax money going towards research on how to reduce its environmental impact.

Well of course it's fine by you... Canadian.

?From our assessment, we conclude there are above and below ground mechanisms by which hydraulic fracturing activities have the potential to impact drinking water resources,? the report?s executive summary reads. ?We did not find evidence that these mechanisms have led to widespread, systemic impacts on drinking water resources in the United States.?

Now go hug another tree.

I agree. Seems only fair.

Just watched a video about fracking and it's pretty messed up what they do. They pump all kinds of trash down there and squeeze out the gas from the ground.
And then they leave all those chemicals in the ground. Sounds like a good plan,

Groundbreaking Report Calculates Damage Done by Fracking

Quote:

The report measured key indicators of fracking threats across the country, including:

280 billion gallons of toxic wastewater generated in 2012?enough to flood all of Washington, DC, in a 22-foot deep toxic lagoon
450,000 tons of air pollution produced in one year
250 billion gallons of fresh water used since 2005
360,000 acres of land degraded since 2005
100 million metric tons of global warming pollution since 2005

this is actually good for fracking industry and how business & government work. new and better and safer and cleaner fracking tech is on the horizon. NY state and this country will figure out ways to regulate it properly, and fracking will be back in NY.

NY can't just shit out regulations on such leading-edge tech, so they banned it, albeit temporarily.
