NY Environmentalists Call for Fracking Ban

New York has recently proposed new rules regulating the natural gas drilling process known as hydraulic fracturing or hydrofracking. Though the new rules protect certain key areas from drilling, many environmentalists says it’s not enough and are calling for an outright ban on fracking.

It’s ridiculous that our water supplies should be so unthinkingly put at risk by unsafe energy practices. For more information on why fracking is bad, see the movie Gasland.
