Should New York be in any rush to end its ban on shale gas fracking? Proponents are arguing that the time has come to let commerce flow while opponents are maintaining that it should remain in place until production processes are fool proof.The state is rapidly becoming the national focus for the anti-fracking campaign that is asking Governor Andrew Cuomo to systematically review shale gas drilling and to carefully weigh the evidence. The governor, in fact, is complying with those requests, which will act to postpone a formal executive decision for several months.http://www.forbes.com/sites/kensilverstein/2012/10/08/can-new-york-and-the-nation-frack-safely-and-profitably/?ss=business%3Aenergy
