On eve of fracking OK, Bloomberg says city needs more gas
Mayor Michael Bloomberg has released a study finding that more natural gas is critical for the city to improve air quality and public health.
Bloomberg’s announcement on Monday came on the heels of a Washington Post opinion piece in which he expressed support for expanded natural gas drilling.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is expected to decide soon whether to allow shale gas drilling using hydraulic fracturing when the Department of Environmental Conservation completes a four-year environmental review.
