Hi Ashish
Please try it now.

Noreen,
You just highlighted another example of Typical Govt. Inefficency and waste.
What's the solution to each and every problem(as per the Govt.)??? Set up more and more Committees and Task forces which accompish nothing but publish reports which are just filed and piled in one corner of DC.
Its really funny that the Committee consists of not a single individual who has active experience in Hydraulic facturing[I actually found it hilarious,until I realised thats the typical way in which Govts tend to operate-High on Style and Light on Substance].
Regards
Ashish.

John,
I am unable to access the Research report which you linked to.
Has the link changed? Can you update that link?
The Report surely looks very,very interesting to go through.
I tend to side with the Oil Industry on this one.
We are not just shipping Jobs but also valuable Dollars overseas by refusing to Speed up the Review on fracking in New York State.
We need all the energy we can get at the cheapest possible rates.

Ashish.
Environmentalists aren't the only ones dissatisfied with the selection of members for this panel. Jack Gerard, president and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, sent a letter to Energy Secretary Steven Chu late last week complaining that there are no experts on hydraulic fracturing technology on the committee.
"The list of individuals selected for the subcommittee is impressive. They provide solid expertise in a number of key areas, but none of them is directly engaged in exploration and production operations — and certainly not part of the natural gas development in regions like the Marcellus shale, the Barnett shale or the Fayetteville shale," Gerard wrote in the letter. "It is important to include the viewpoints and technical expertise of all stakeholders, particularly those in the industry who have already stepped up and created robust standards and best practices for natural gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing."

I agree that decisions should be based on scientific data and observable facts, but the question is how long can we wait for such data? And when dealing with folks on either side of the issue--enviros and the gasheads--who feel the strongest, will there be data ever that satisfies them?

The important thing is for decisions to be made on sound, rational data. We can't base an argument for or against the process on junk science or opinions focused by a personal perspective or agenda.

Another way I've heard this argument goes like this: either we allow fracking to provide the indepent source of energy that we need, or we'll face the prospect of liquefied natural gas facilities all along our Gulf and southern Atlantic coasts. Those facilities open up a whole can of other worms in terms of their risks ... ie, they being in hurricane alley, or the threat of a terrorist lighting one up.

Although the pressure to bring jobs and money into the region will be significant, the environmental community will make their voices heard, especially in the New York region where the New York City watershed could be impacted.
My guess is that frackng in New York will be delayed until multiple studies convince the majority that it will not put hazardous chemicals into the drinking water.

However, they found no evidence that potentially toxic chemicals used in the process is infiltrating drinking water.
I hope more research is done to check if toxic chemicals are indeed infiltrating drinking waters. If its prooven the methods are safe then i think this would give great boost to economy as it will create so many jobs.
