Alert: All New Yorkers: Fracking Moratorium Expires on June 29, 2011

We stand for a 100% BAN on hydraulic fracture drilling in our state. Let the will of the people be known!

Committing ecological suicide should NEVER have been considered a viable economic "solution" to our so-called energy needs. Some landowners have said "my land, my gas". We say, "OUR WATER," so don't destroy it for all of New York. Fracking does not work, is an economically, geologically, and environmentally unsound practice, and will have irreversible effects on the future of all life in New York State.
