The EPA Fracking Miracle
Keywords:
This editorial in the WSJ after the release of the EPA report on the safety of fracking to produce oil and gas, is critical of Governor Andrew Cuomo's ban on fracking in the state of New York. It says Rochester and Buffalo are two of the four poorest cities in the U.S. after Detroit and Cleveland, and points to the economic benefits generated by fracking for oil and gas in other states. Fracking is the practice of injecting water and chemicals deep into dense rock underground to push up oil and gas.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
