No Fracking Rush

We know what the risks are from fracking shale - truck traffic, leaking wells, frack flowback

Some New York gassers pretend that there will be rewards - for some

When this is simply not the case in most of Upstate. There isn’t much shale gas.

We already know where the Marcellus and Utica are probably not productive.

The results of the test wells are in - and the gas ain’t there. . .

Two fracking fiascos - Gastem and Norse have proven that.

We have a better idea of where the Utica is not productive - east of the Finger Lakes

And we have an idea on the timing - not this decade . . .

So on the one hand, there is no fracking rush for the state to permit shale gas exploration

Particularly when we know the proposed state regs. suck

And the DEC has never adequately regulated oil and gas drilling

There is no reason for a town to not pass a moratorium - to see what the state regs. are

Because there is no gas boom to “miss out” on . . .

Ignore the fracking BS and adopt a moratorium and a road use ordinance

So that your town does not get run over by frackers prospecting for gas
