At the end of October, MDN told you about a company called Southern Tier CO2 to Clean Energy Solutions, based in Binghamton, NY, sending fliers to landowners in Broome, Tioga, and Chemung counties (along the border with Pennsylvania, where there is no doubt large amounts of Marcellus and Utica gas beneath the ground) inviting landowners to sign up for what appears to be an exciting opportunity to sell gas rights (see Company Seeks to Lease New York Mineral & Pore Rights for Flat $10). In December, we told you that Food & Water Watch (FWW) and other nutball green groups launched an all-out assault on the Southern Tier Solutions plan, organizing a form letter sent to NY Gov. Kathy Hochul and the Democrat-controlled state legislature (see Big Green Pressures NY Democrats to Reject CO2 Fracking in Upstate). Yesterday, FWW went one step further, organizing a small (but loud) protest in front of Gov. Hochul's Manhattan office to pressure her to ban all forms of "fracking."
