#1: Call and Keep Calling the Governor at 518 474 8390 to Require a Favorable Reply to our:
Try to speak to a live operator. If you cannot get through, leave a message. Please use this exact language word for word:
"I demand that Governor Hochul immediately prohibit all forms of Marcellus Shale High-Volume Hydraulic Fracturing, including using carbon dioxide or other non-water fracking methods, combined with horizontal, directional or vertical drilling."
#2: Criticize the Governor For Signing the Fatally Flawed Kelles/Webb Carbon Dioxide Shale Fracking Legislation Into Law
The Kelles (A8866)/Webb (S8357) legislation purports to prevent carbon dioxide from being used to "complete or recomplete natural gas or oil resources," but the bill deliberately excludes carbon dioxide from the definition of High-Volume Hydraulic Fracturing. This exclusion makes zero sense.
You can read the bill for yourself: A8866/S8357
The new law fails to prohibit carbon dioxide from being injected into Marcellus Shale through Carbon Capture and Storage efforts. This could circumvent the proposed prohibition against using carbon dioxide to "complete or recomplete natural gas or oil resources."
The bill is also shockingly inadequate because it fails to prohibit all forms of High-Volume Hydraulic Fracturing, such as using nitrogen, propane, natural gas or even water one gallon less than the current 300,000 gallon limit.
#3 Call Assemblywoman Anna Kelles and State Senator Lea Webb to Demand That They Take Immediate Action to require Governor Hochul to prohibit all forms of Marcellus Shale High-Volume Hydraulic Fracturing, including using carbon dioxide or other non-water fracking methods, combined with horizontal, directional or vertical drilling."
