Will NY politicians sacrifice our safe drinking water for natural gas drilling? A moratorium on drilling by hydro-fracturing is demanded at Press Conference at NYC City Hall June 11, 2010 with political leaders and activists speaking up so Federal studies of actual environmental impact can proceed and will most likely acknowledge the obvious, drilling for natural gas in NY state is a very bad idea. It will ruin our drinking water by polluting with carcinogenic chemicals used in the fracturing of shale and foul our air as such drilling has already done in other states such as Pennsylvania.
