Why There Is So Much Pipeline Opposition from Fractivists

Fractivist pipeline opposition began a few years ago as they found the only way to stop gas development was to choke it off. That's not working either.

The Catskill Mountainkeeper, a tax-exempt charity under Federal and New York State law,  is engaging in blatant lobbying although it says it does almost none.

Catskill Mountainkeeper is out with an email to supporters today, outlining the reasons why they feel an expanded review of the health impacts of hydrofracking doesn’t go far enough.

Here’s where it gets particularly interesting: The “action alert” (politely) targets current Department of Environmental Conservation chief Joseph Martens,who helped found the Sullivan County-based group in 2007.

Last week, Martens announced that the DEC has asked the state Department of Health to review his agency’s final report on high-volume hydrofracking for natural gas before deciding whether it should proceed in New York. The Health Department will tap outside experts to assist in the review, but Martens said he “rejects” the idea that an outside group should perform a comprehensive health impact analysis.

As part of its email, Catskill Mountainkeeper called the announcement a “welcome development in the regulatory process” but said it “unfortunately falls far short of what is needed.”
