(CNSNews.com) – A long-delayed decision on fracking in New York isn’t expected any time soon.
“I want the right decision, not necessarily the fast decision,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told a news conference on Monday. “It’s one of the most important decisions I think we will make as a government, with far-reaching consequences – good and/or bad.”
Calling it a “very controversial field with very high stakes,” Cuomo mentioned “potential health consequences, danger, risk -- versus economic benefit.” He’s leaving it to his advisers to work at their own pace.
Gov. Cuomo’s comments came several weeks after National Public Radio reported that fracking in Pennsylvania “helps clear the air in New York.”
On Nov. 28, NPR’s “Morning Edition” reported that New Yorkers are switching to natural gas while saving money and cleaning up the air.

Everyone should be REQUIRED to watch the documentary GASLAND before anything is voted on.
Its big business and they will eff you up in a split second without blinking an eye.
Fracking has decimated communities.
Its just another Love Canal.
They strip the land, kill the community and environment, make money and leave you with the mess to clean up.
Their gas is paid for by us...They do not care how much gas costs us...
