#NewYork State Made People POOR by BANNING FRACKING of #NaturalGas "New York's fracking ban paints prosperity and environmental responsibility as mutually exclusive," says the Pacific Legal Foundation, which is representing the family. “But that's a false choice - and a costly one, forcing individual New Yorkers like the Woodwards to bear the weight of a manufactured scarcity." Environmental crazies convinced then Governor Andrew Cuomo to impose a full fracking ban in 2014, after warning it would cause #earthquakes, TOXIC drinking #water, and higher CANCER rates. **NONE of those problems exist in #Pennsylvania**, but New York's side of the border has clearly stagnated. A Heritage Foundation report finds that New York's seven counties have an average GDP per capita that's $27,000 per household less than their counterparts in Pennsylvania. #electricity costs are **25% to 50% higher on the New York side** New Yorkers are paying the price of anti-fracking fanaticism via higher electricity prices, which politicians would rather blame on #DataCenters. BANNING the extraction of natural gas FOREVER has limited the state's energy options, and **made it and its residents POORER** We can only hope that the Woodward lawsuit gets a fair hearing, and raises awareness of just how much New York is **engaging in an act of #economic #masochism** https://committeetounleashprosperity.com/hotlines/new-york-state-made-people-poor-by-banning-fracking/
