How New York Stopped Shale Fracking

Anthony Ingrafea is a Cornell professor who has been immersed in the science, politics and resistance to the development of oil and gas from shale in New York State for five years. After a long grassroots battle, New Yorkers have succeeded in achieving a five-year moratorium, and Governor Andrew Cuomo has promised he will make a decision on permitting based on studies yet to be completed. Over 100,000 Californians already have signed a petition against such fracking.
