I know, it's perplexing as well as infuriating.
I heard something else, which I have not confirmed. Obama, in his energy program, made it so that if a state blocks an energy effort such as a fracking project, the state is liable for the losses to the energy company. Now New York State is currently considering whether to allow fracking legally. If this is really true, then the federal government is extorting New York (and other states) to allow fracking. Wait, I think it also said that if a municipality blocks a project, the state is liable!

Hi, Isn't New York that state with all the clean water for their biggest city, but terrible water for the folks who live where that water comes from?
It's not important what the residents of one state or another want. Until hydrofracking get's banned, it willl keep on keeping on!!!

Fine. NY should only receive energy deliveries from states that produce energy the way New Yorkers would like it to be produced.

And every freeloader red state should adopt NY's social and tax values until they are contributing into the federal coffers as much as they are receiving.
And as far as making Fracking safer, that isn't going to happen until the GOP gets out of the way or comes to their senses so that we can have tougher laws. Currently you can not even legally find out what chemicals they are injecting into the ground because it is considered a proprietary secret.
Maybe people could get on board if there was more transparency and some better regulations to make it safer. We could start repealing the Cheney loophole and then see if the energy companies still considered it economically feasible once they were on the hook for cleanup costs.

I wholeheartedly support tight and transparent regulation of fracking. It will still be economically feasible and there will be less environmental damage.
