GILLIBRAND CALLS FOR EXTENDED PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD ON MARCELLUS SHALE
DRILLING
New Yorkers currently have until Nov 30 to comment. Senator Gillibrand is
requesting another month beyond that.
Senator Gillibrand:
"While drilling represents a tremendous economic opportunity, we need
assurance that the quest for new sources of energy does not come at the
expense of safe drinking water.... New York has an abundant supply of fresh,
clean water, and we must learn from the accidents that other states have
already experienced to avoid damage to our own precious natural resources."
