Tuesday February 9, 10am-Noon Eco-Logic on drinking water, natural gas and hydraulic fracturing
Exploding toilets. Exploding wells. Contaminated drinking water. This is what has happened in other states that have allowed Halliburton's hydraulic fracturing process to reach natural gas deposits in shale. Chesapeake Energy Corporation put out a press release on Oct. 28 stating they won't drill in New York City's watershed. What does that really mean? What about the other companies that are taking out drilling leases? What about the rest of the state? Why is the governor allowing these leases? What does the NYC City Council pronouncement on the subject really mean? What about other dangers to the water supplies? Why isn't all drinking water protected from any and all pollution? What about the already-contaminated water in Pennsylvania and other states? We already do without the gas. We cannot do without the water. Hosted by Ken Gale.
