Natural Gas Drilling in the Marcellus Shale Formation

"Motivated to do God's will, instructed to be stewards of God's creation, moved by the concerns of our community for a stable financial future, and aware that our natural resources are irreplaceable, we, the undersigned, …"

This is the opening to a letter that members of Greenblade have drafted to be sent to Gov. David Paterson and members of the New York State Congressional Delegation concerning the proposed hydrofracking method of drilling for natural gas. This letter is available here for anyone to download, print out and circulate for signatures. Please make copies of the signature page as needed.

If you collect signatures, please fax the entire document - letter and signature page - to Gov. Paterson at 518-474-1513. 

Although the formal deadline for public comments has passed, it cannot hurt to keep the pressure on as no decision has yet been announced.

Check our Resources page for background on this issue.
