New York getting ready to frack?

Cuomo to take the plunge?

New York DEC Commisioner Joseph Martens, a standard issue liberal environmentalist, had this to say about hydrofracking today:

“I believe it can be done safely,” said Martens, a former open-space advocate who was appointed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year. “With all of the precautions that we have built in to the process, I believe it can be done safely.”

Sounds like all the deals have been made.  As we've been predicting, money talks.  The professional opposition will have a fit, of course, but that's their job.  Now, where did we put that lease agreement.......?
