GOVERNOR CUOMO, CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?

Today we’re sending Governor Cuomo an unmistakable message:

We will not be fracked!

Our message is being delivered in the form of over 200,000 comments and letters sharply critical of the state’s proposed fracking regulations. Cuomo’s regs are a disgrace. They read as though they were written by industry lobbyists, and maybe they were. Important scientific research was utterly ignored. Instead, the state’s Division of Mineral Resources offered up baseless statements and assumptions pulled from a hole as deep as a Marcellus well – exactly what you’d expect when environmental policy is put in the hands of an avowed climate change denier.

The overwhelming public response to Cuomo’s ill-conceived attempt to permit fracking was a collaborative effort on the part of thousands of individuals and dozens of organizations including Artists Against Fracking, and Grassroots Environmental Education. Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy is pleased to be submitting almost 24,000 letters from its members – not bad for an organization that doesn’t have a single paid staff member, or even an office.

Heartfelt thanks to all who made this effort such a resounding success.
