In reply to the discussion: Fracking on Ice [View all]bigtree
(85,996 posts)48. activists like you are carrying this load of knowledge to these pols
. . . it's really good to see how timely and advantageous yours and others campaigns against fracking have provided such an attractive (or opportunistic) platform for Cuomo; and hopefully others.
When you get folks to accept these concerns about groundwater and the damage to our air from released gases; and informed about the trade-offs which make the process a financial disaster, in the end, because of those environmental risks; you're really getting them to encompass with their attention all of the vital concerns related to the destruction of our planet.
Kudos to Cuomo, for choosing to put environmental concerns in front of his decision. We have Pres. Obama facing the same information about the pipeline and fracking, as well . . .
