Listen to Some Eco Logic

From WBAI 99.5 FM in NYC:

"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 about other dangers to the water supplies? What about the already-contaminated water in Pennsylvania and other states? We already do without the gas. We cannot do without the water."



Listen to Ken Gale interview with Deborah Goldberg of Earthjustice, and Annie Wilson of the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter discuss the problems of hydrofracking for natural gas in NY State. The portion of the program devoted to gas drilling begins at about the 10 minute mark of the podcast (approximately 1/2 inch in on the quicktime bar) Program Located Here.
