When Governor Andrew Cuomo announced no funding for gas-drilling regulators until the DEC decides whether to allow hydraulic fracturing, he provided a fracking reality check for those on both sides who assume that it will come soon.
City reporter Jeremy Moule wrote that fracking will probably occur, and an Albany reporter wrote that reading 40,000 fracking letters will be a final hurdle before drilling is allowed; others have used "when" instead of "if" fracking will come to New York State.
It is still possible that even the Big Bucks will not force to happen something that is so wrong for people, the environment, and the bowels of the Earth.
We hope that reporter Moule will have a chance to take a different stance.
