Too Fast For Drilling
Governor Cuomo is fracturing in the state of New York for natural gas. When you fracture that means that you put water, sand, and other chemicals in the ground so natural gas can tap out of the ground. The Governor is not drill in places like Syracuse and New York City. The main problem is how to handle the waste water filled with chemicals. Because the New York sewer system can't handle the amount of fluid that is going to be pushed to them. But Natural Gas is important and the Governor needs to move carefully because if he makes the wrong move there can be consequences.

I for one don't agree with what the Governor is doing. It is too risky and if he makes the wrong move it can leave New York in chaos. When you are stuck in a problem like this. The right answer isn't to drill for oil in dangerous places but too find a new energy source. It is a dangerous thing to do. The reason it is so dangerous is because of the health concerns. When you fracture natural gas like oil can come out of you sewer system and harm you.
