NEW YORK STATE
TO BAN FRACKING
rick --
Governor Cuomo announced
today that he will ban
high-volume hydraulic
fracturing
in New York State.
We are so proud to be New Yorkers! Thank you
Governor Cuomo for putting the people of
New York and their interests above the
interests of the gas industry.
After looking at the science on fracking, th
e Acting Commissioner of Health, Howard
Zucker concluded what residents across
New York have been saying for years.
When advising the Governor, Zucker
stated "Would I live in a community that
would allow fracking? The answer is no."
At the same time as New York State takes
this powerful stance against the fossil
fuel industry, it has also made major moves
to support a green economy by investing
in renewable energy, micro grids and
conservation.
Just last week, Catskill Mountainkeeper's
Renewable NY initiative was awarded a
grant to bring community solar campaigns
to the Southern Tier, Catskill and Hudson
Valley regions.
With climate change likely to be THE
issue of our time, we applaud Governor
Cuomo for being a true leader. New York
State can show the nation what is possible.
Together we can lead a just transition to
an economy based on efficiency and
clean, renewable energy.
Please join us in sending
a HUGE thank you to
Governor Cuomo, Acting
Commissioner Zucker and
Commissioner Martens.
