Fracking - where is it headed ?

New York takes the wrong approach to ‘fracking’

Fracking’s risks concern water and air contamination. States should control where and how wastewater is disposed of, require robust wells that are resistant to blowouts, demand that drillers prevent methane and volatile organic compounds from escaping into the air and regulate leaks from storage facilities and well sites. States such as Colorado have developed rules with sensitivity both to industry and to environmental concerns. The Obama administration is developing its own, national fracking rules, too. That’s the model to follow — not New York’s.

He figures it'll be worth more later, after the others have petered out, and he's out of office so he can belly up to the trough, too.

Cuomo is the slimiest character to come out of New York politics in a while, always look for another rea$on for any policy.

Hmmmm..... Did the Washington Post forget to mention ...

from here
Colorado: yellow dots = violatlons

green lines = water sheds
lavender = shale plays
tan areas = shale basins
orange dots = horizontal wells

Pennsylvania: yellow dots = violations

green lines = water sheds
lavender area = EIA shale play
purple dots = permits

Maybe Kentucky doesn't have problems ... yet, but government prevention of coal ash problems hasn't set a good example.
