I don't think Cuomo will run. The Republican primary is already way too crowded.

Outstanding! Oh, do I wish Pennsylvania would, but fat chance. I just heard an ad in favor of it on the radio the other day. Corporate propaganda.

Why didn't Cuomo do this before the election? From what I hear, everyone supports the ban.

Both of those things are correct (well, worst Democratic governor). Cuomo is a far-right Republican on economics, but as far as I can tell he's always been fine on other issues.

I'm wondering if he might have presidential ambitions after all. Everyone was fuming at him before today, but now everyone thinks he's one cool guy.

Why the change of heart? I was under the impression that this was among the issues on which Cuomo was horrible.

he was doing a good job of procrastinating.  we all expected the worst and didn't get it.  he never let frack hit dirt.

Because with oil prices this low no one is going to waste time fracking in NY for the time being.

There is little danger in fracking if done properly.

He is doing this because that's what the corporations want. They literally can't even with more supply right.

Fracking is never safe, don't believe the bullsh**t that is spun about it. There is no way a person can control what happens underground.

Good.

Fracking needs to be banned until the new method below is usable for business:

The Montan-University Leoben (Austria) is currently working on a clean, environmentally friendly fracking method and they have already made big progress on it and are now in field studies.

Instead of using chemicals that are potentially dangerous for the water supply, the "clean-fracking" method would frack the shales with a mix of potassium carbonate & corn derivates. All of the ressources used could also be recycled.

Hopefully we can double the fracking here in Pennsylvania to compensate.
