S.E.C., the cost of converting existing nationwide infrastructure to utilize natural gas would be more than $7 billion. That sum would be much better spent converting infrastructure to run on renewables. There is plenty of latent wind and solar power to fuel our energy needs, it’s just a matter of deploying already-proven technologies to do so. This is what we should and must do; we owe it to future generations of New Yorkers.

Seth – Clueless, man. There’s not enough solar and wind to power manufacturing in the US, let alone the consumer base.

No doubt that we all appreciate heat in the winter and A/C in the summer. But the power required to live our lives comfortably can and must come from renewable resources, or else those summer days are going to be getting a whole lot hotter. And the families of those who will be employed by investment in renewables will be able to take advantage of NY’s wonderful tourism industry too.

I hear the tourism industry is marketing its destinations to the drill workers and their families in Pa.
And wouldn’t it be nice to have a program for future scientists and geologists to tour a well site and see the technology that brings them warmth in the winter and A/C in the summer?

Don’t let them frack, or anything else that starts with ‘f’, New York!
