Frack us!

Apparently New York State regulators concluded that fracking was safe, but the politicians buried the report because it would irritate the greens. Or at least that is the claim.

The analysis and other health assessments have been closely guarded by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and his administration as the governor weighs whether to approve fracking. Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, has long delayed making a decision, unnerved in part by strident opposition on his party’s left.

We think it is safe to say that neither left nor right can accuse the other of politicizing science without throwing stones from their own glass house.
