I commend the Attorney General for taking this step to protect the health and well-being of NY's citizens and environment. As a Pennsylvania resident, I sincerely wish our officials were as concerned about the dangers of fracking as they are about the campaign contributions they've received from the natural gas industry. Contrary to what is stated in this article, fracking is NOT a clean energy source and it is not only “environmentalists” who say fracking is hazardous. If you think fracking has been an economic boon to PA, please talk to the residents whose water wells have exploded, whose cows have had to be quarantined after drinking from radioactive streams, whose property values are now below zero, and whose once-rural towns have been turned into industrial sites. Kudos to Eric Schneiderman for taking the right stand.
