Pennsylvania has added tens of thousands of jobs to their economy thanks to fracking. <br /><br />North Dakota has 3.2% unemployment thanks to the fracking industry. <br /><br />Why would New York State want to copy them?<br /><br />-- Jock SpivySamuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16548850334066788444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-89622174890508976722012-12-30T11:04:44.171-05:002012-12-30T11:04:44.171-05:00Ulster County Executive bans use of hydrofracking ...Ulster County Executive bans use of hydrofracking brine<br />Posted on April 13, 2012 by Mountainkeeper<br />Ulster County Executive bans use of hydrofracking brine<br /> YNN Hudson Valley – April 13, 2012<br /> I also hope it will serve as a model for other counties around New York State,” <br />said Dr. Kathy Nolan, Catskill Mountain Keeper Regional Director.<br />.........<br />Statement from New Yorkers Against Fracking spokesperson David Braun<br /> on Ulster County Executive Mike Hein executive order<br /> banning the use of hydrofracking waste water as a de-icing agent on local roads:<br /> <br />“We applaud Ulster County Executive Mike Hein’s executive order banning the use of brine,<br /> a dangerous hydrofracking waste product, as a de-icing agent on county roads.<br /> <br />“Make no mistake, you wouldn’t want to eat a pickle that was sitting in this brine. <br /> New Yorkers shouldn’t be put at risk of toxic chemicals mixing with our water ways,<br /> our drinking water, our farms, and our communities. <br /> <br />“The gas industry’s reckless attempt to entice localities to take their fracking wastewater<br /> is another indicator that they have no real plan in place for handling highly<br /> dangerous and radioactive fracking wastewater<br /><br />“We are counting on Governor Cuomo and the legislature to heed<br /> the growing body of science proving that fracking cannot be done<br /> without sacrificing our health and water.<br /> Only a ban on fracking will keep our state safe.” Prison Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10059050028975347899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-18888869854858592072012-12-30T09:41:17.384-05:002012-12-30T09:41:17.384-05:00I see Ulster County is signing a ban on use of Fra...I see Ulster County is signing a ban on use of Fracking Brine on their streets but the Dept of Public Works.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548912912359709568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-3729938466843197542012-12-29T21:48:10.223-05:002012-12-29T21:48:10.223-05:00Sorry to go astray on my comment but since we now ...Sorry to go astray on my comment but since we now have snow, what's the status on whether the toxic sludge from fracking is being used to de-ice our streets? Still want to know how we can stop this outrageous and hazardous proposal from being implemented in the City of Hudson. Legal suggestions?
