NYS Bans Fracking

I live in a region at risk for shale exploitation. While I may have benefited financially - LOST would be the serene peace, beauty, and quiet that comes without all the noise and destruction of fracking. The tradeoff of being in a rural environment, is natural beauty we want to preserve and be a custodian for the future.  The benefits are esoteric! 

New York can establish more natural food production by young farmers as parts of California are in real trouble with water. There are already plenty of areas being allocated to energy production.

Destruction is continuing as people use more natural resources and forgo preservation. Trees logged on land that was conserved for 20 years. Loss of habitat affecting wildlife, insects of bees and butterflies.

In my opinion, there are never enough acres dedicated to natural habitat and national parks!
