New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced last week that he is banning hydraulic fracturing statewide. (Mike Groll, The Associated Press)
Re: “Anything but fracking in New York state,” Dec. 19 editorial.
Your editorial criticizes New York state for banning fracking because of health risks. You contend that state regulators exist to minimize health risks caused by fracking. A Nov. 16 Denver Post article (““) documented air contamination caused by fracking in Colorado. What are our regulators doing that will minimize this obvious health risk? There is no science to suggest that any state can allow fracking without long-term health risks.
