And Now, The Rest of the Fracking Story
Channel: Owen Crowley
Date: 2015-02-09

In December of 2014, DEC Commissioner Joe Martens declared a ban on high volume hydraulic fracturing in New York State. This is a very positive development, but there is more to fracking than just drilling: A network of pipelines, compressor stations, storage facilities, waste disposal plants, import and export hubs are proposed for construction or enlargement. New York State remains subject to all of these, in addition to vertical and low-volume drilling. Learn more about these hazards, and how they threaten to derail the development of renewable energy. In the “The Landscape of Fracking in New York” series, we present: 

Part 1 – Intro to YOU ARE HERE – An interactive online map of shale gas infrastructure in New York State

Part 2 – And Now, The Rest of the Fracking Story – Michelle Bamberger and Robert Oswald talk about the  the health consequences of all this natural gas infrastructure

Part 3 – Panel on Pipelines, Compressor Stations, LNG and Offshore Wind – More depth on fossil fuel infrastructure projects, and how they threaten to crowd out renewable energy initiatives

Part 4 – Audience Q&A – Smart questions by an engaged audience


FRACKING MEANS MORE THAN JUST DRILLING
