A request from the Delaware Riverkeepers:

Please take a minute to call New York Governor Cuomo this week – Jan. 28 through Feb. 1 -- to tell him

• Do not allow fracking
• Do not issue DEC’s unfinished environmental study (SGEIS)
• Do not finalize DEC’s proposed gas rules 
• Fracking is a dangerous method of drilling for natural gas that threatens our health, communities and environment
• New York needs protection from the dangers of fracking

In the next few weeks, New York could finalize its study of fracking without conducting a comprehensive and publicly accessible health analysis of the threats to human health, without full review of all the environmental impacts and economic implications, and without addressing longstanding and potentially catastrophic deficiencies in how the New York regulates gas drilling.

But an unprecedented 200,000 comments and in-depth criticism by experts exposed the fatal flaws and lack of science behind the proposed fracking regulations.

Tell Governor Cuomo Fracking cannot be done safely. Step back and consider the immediate and long range indelible harm that will result if the floodgates of fracking are opened in New York!

Please recruit your friends, family, and neighbors to call Governor Cuomo!

We need thousands upon thousands of calls to make turn the Governor back from the edge of disaster here in New York.

An urgent message from the Delaware Riverkeepers - 

LNG Exports - Harms Being Ignored by DOE Report

Send Your Letter Today.

The Department of Energy has released a report it claims considers the economic ramifications of exporting natural gas, including shale gas, to other countries.   It is seeking public comment on the report.

Upon review one quickly sees that the DOE has commissioned a very limited analysis that fails to paint a true picture of the economic ramifications of increasing exports.  The report fails totally to consider the community and environmental harms, and resulting economic harms, that will result from the increase in shale gas development that LNG exports will incite. 

Please, send your comments to the Department of Energy today, and let them know that if they are going to consider increased exports then they need to look at the entire picture, including all of the harms that will be brought by increased shale gas development, and the lost opportunity of failing to invest in energy efficiency and truly sustainable energy sources.
