A Plea to NY Gov. Hochul to Overturn the Ban on Fracking in Upstate

We spotted an opinion piece in the New York Post with the provocative title, "With Kamala Harris now in favor, Hochul should let upstate NY frack, baby, frack." It's part tongue-in-cheek and part serious. If The Cackler can turn on a dime and supposedly embrace fracking, why can't leftist Kathy Hochul? (Of course, Harris hasn't really changed her position on fracking. But play along just for kicks...) The Post column outlines the economic devastation that has hit Upstate NY (where MDN is located) and how a simple change in policy to allow fracking would ignite the Upstate economy. The author is right. If Hochul *really* cared about Upstate and seeing it prosper, she would work to allow shale fracking.
