If the New York State Assembly is so worried about the health of the citizens of that great state, then it ought to be looking to how it could expand the use of natural gas, instead of trying to shut down the industry.

Is the cautious approach to regulating natural gas extraction preventing a public health catastrophe?

The New State Assembly seems to think so. On Wednesday March 5th, they voted to extend a moratorium that will continue to put on hold the development of New York State’s natural gas resources utilizing High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing.

When asked about the vote, most legislators cited a list of potential negative impacts. Their action inadvertently revealed the incomplete picture that too many of them apparently have of natural gas.
