    If anyone understands the watershed from upstate NY then you understand why they want none of this fracking here. It could permanently ruin water for millions of people.

    The only thing that Cuomo has done right so far.

    Nice, I've been there!

    Most of the US' sustainable food source comes from there. Bravo.

    This is great news. Very happy for all of my friends and family that still live back home in the Marcellus Shale region. Now if we can only get the knuckleheads south of the NY border to stop that shit.
