While I no longer claim NY state as my home, I've followed this issue for some time and in every state, not just New York.

Our use of natural gas is growing, resistance to regulation is strong and many pols are uncomfortably friendly with things as they are.

I wonder if the industry will be willing to clean up their act, disclose the ingredients of their fracking fluids, or otherwise try to be less vile.

I suspect that they'll just have to ratchet up exploitation in Colorado and New Mexico.

Excellent news, in any event.

Best holiday wished to you and yours,

NYC_SKP
