Radicals Win in NY – Senate Passes Permanent Ban on CO2 Fracking

| | | | |
Where do business dreams go to die? New York State, of course. Yesterday, the New York State Senate passed a bill to ban the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) in any process to extract natural gas or oil in the so-called Empire State. The NY Assembly (our state's lower chamber) voted to approve the same bill a week ago (see NY Assembly Passes Bill to Ban Using CO2 to “Frack” Wells). It is a metaphysical certitude that our radicalized Governor, Kathy Hochul (who has somehow become even worse than Andrew Cuomo), will sign it into law, thereby destroying what could have been a billion-dollar private business that would have benefited landowners, area businesses, and local municipalities with heaps of extra tax revenues. Have a great idea for a business? Don't come to New York, where we are closed for business.
