It seems that the Gov. & DEC offer noting but deceit and lies as false assurances that the process of natural gas extraction is safe and affordable. Every state this industry is in, leaves a trail of devastation and environmental destruction. NYS is the industry's last stand and the complicity runs deep between government, industry and profiteers. These forces will perpetuate until we stop them with in-mass action. An encampment in Albany by thousands of people could be a way of stopping this assault.David Walczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07404133538678894099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993321373300794743.post-42339912961099517402010-04-24T14:59:47.237-04:002010-04-24T14:59:47.237-04:00Ahh yes, the age old adage of "mine is worth ...Ahh yes, the age old adage of "mine is worth more than yours."

Many work or have<br />relatives who work in the industry, and for<br />fear of job security, will not speak out.<br />Sounds like the same in New York. They have<br />stricter noise rules, distance rules, and<br />general safety for big cities.Ward in the Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946667587199015228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993321373300794743.post-45259538838117650512010-04-23T18:14:44.237-04:002010-04-23T18:14:44.237-04:00"an' ain't we a Watershed too?" ..."an' ain't we a Watershed too?" - beautiful quote, Sue! Just like an old Pogo strip. And what a way to end the article; with some gritty rural wit. In some ways Albany is creating it's own noose and now placing it around their own neck. <br /><br />Dave WalczakDavid Walczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07404133538678894099noreply@blogger.com
