2nd New York state judge upholds fracking ban in towns

25. Yes, human will use resources to keep from freezing, but why does it have to be fossil fuels?

There is technology already available, but Oil and Gas Companies haven't figured out a way to make enough money off of other sources yet.

"Noble environmentalism" is what cleaned up Pennsylvania after the Oil Companies and the Coal Companies destroyed this state 100 years ago. When I was a child, the river in my hometown was bright orange from acid mine drainage. We spent many years, and a whole lot of money restoring that river that the Robber Barons had polluted into a giant sulfur stream. Now, they stock this same river with trout and have fishing tournaments.

What happens? The same people who got rich from oil and coal are now the ones getting even richer from Marcellus Shale...they didn't give a damn then or now about anything but money. The acid mine drainage is gone, only to be replaced by methane, and benzene, and toluene. So, the cycle starts all over again.

That's bullshit. People shouldn't sit here and be complacent and accept it all as inevitable. That's why what is going on in New York is so admirable. I salute them and everyone who is still trying in Pennsylvania (although that's a tough cause until we vote Governor Gashole out of office).
