Wow/Powerful EPA Comments/Keep slugging

Greetings,

I write to thank everyone who has worked so hard these last two and a half grueling years to maintain New York's de facto moratorium on Marcellus Shale horizontal hydrofracturing. Your diligence and sacrifice are greatly appreciated. What you have collectively achieved is almost beyond belief. I am sure the gas industry is chagrined to feels likewise.

Even against that background of impressive political achievement, the last ten days have been noteworthy in the annals of NYS grassroots action. Wow.

Bring all the banners and signs you can lay your hands on. We will see if they are allowed on the Concourse.

Governor Cuomo Updated Regarding More Than 20,900 Signatories to the Withdraw RD SGEIS Coalition Letter

Greetings,

FYI, I updated Governor Cuomo yesterday regarding the more than 20,900 signatories to the Withdraw the Revised Draft SGEIS Coalition Letter. Please note the last paragraph of the letter below. If that proposal can be implemented, there would be no horizontal hydrofracturing in New York's tight shale for a very long time to come.

1. We were fortunate that the huge tax deal struck this week by the Governor and the Legislature did not include any hydrofracturing component. Gas and oil lobbyists were circling the halls of the Capitol to the very end. Thanks for the hundreds of emails and phone calls to Governor Cuomo and Senator Libous.
