Cortland County Says ‘No’ to Hydraulic Fracturing
Cortland County faith leaders and anti- ‘fracking’ advocates were joined with local Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton holding a press conference Thursday at the Christ Community Church to reveal results to a survey poll to show the widespread opposition to the natural gas drilling method.
Pastor Dr. Janet Adair Hansen says the results were not surprising.
“And we were pleased with the outcome, it showed what we see as growing concern in opposition with 58 percent of residents responding that ‘yes’ they were opposed and only about a third say they were in favor,” said Hansen.
Hansen says the county was left out of the public comment places and holding it in the church to show the community of faith is concerned.
The groups involved were Moving in Congregations Acting in Hope and members of the Gas Drilling Awareness of Cortland County.
The survey conducted included 500 adults.

Dr. Marvin Resnikoff spoke at Binghamton University on 11/16/2011 about where the radioactivity from Marcellus Shale gas drilling goes after it comes up out of the ground. He discussed the DEC’s currently-proposed regulations and described some gas-drilling-related problems in Texas. He then addressed numerous questions from the audience.
One fascinating (and frightening) tidbit from his presentation was that radon gas comes into people’s homes along with natural gas when they use it for heating or cooking. Watch the video to see Dr. Resnikoff’s staggering estimate of the number of additional deaths from lung cancer that are statistically attributable to this influx of radon gas.
