For those who just wanted a link to the FERC site where docket number
PF12-9 for the Constitiution pipeline, here it is:

Note: the route through the NYC reservior water sheds is still an
option.

For those of you that can not wait to oppose something, people have
already sent letters opposing this line and you can read them on
the site. Remember you will be joining with people that do not what
this in their back yards and may have a different view of drilling
than you, but now went NIMBLY on us or OMDB which I think is a more
accurate observation.

The Capitol Pressroom for May 24, 2012 | WCNY Blogs.

May 24th, 2012 | Posted by WCNY Staff | No Comments

The Governor promised to create a tax reform and fairness commission. Today, two activists ask when he’ll be rolling it out. Robert McKeon of TREND, Tax Reform Effort of Northern Dutchess & Ronald Deutsch of New Yorkers for Fiscal Fairness, both members of the Omnibus will join me.

Several groups who aren’t fans of the Cuomo administration’s education policies have formed a new coalition. We speak with Nikki Jones of the Alliance for Quality Education & coalition member Doug Wyant, Jr., Superintendent of Schools, Hornell City School District about what they are pushing the Governor to do.

One of the reasons uranium 238 is considered so dangerous is that its half-life is 4.4 billion years.
In human practical terms, the stuff never goes away.

Radon, which is found in natural gas, has a half-life of almost 4 days (3.8). This means that over 4 days, 50% of a unit of radon will be shed away. In 8 days, 50% more will shed, leaving 25% of the original unit. The EPA says the “airborne action level” (aka, the time to DO something) to trigger radiation clean-up is 4 picoCuries per liter. This means in 4 days, 2 of those picoCuries of radon will dissipate. After 8 days, 1 more of those picoCuries of radon will dissipate.

Most of the natural gas that arrives in the homes of people living in NYC travels for about a week up from the gulf coast allowing it to shed over half of its radiation. What if New Yorkers start getting gas from the Marcellus? The travel time is only ½ a day, not long enough for the radiation to shed.

What’s this mean? Today we speak with two people who will explain this to us in lay language: Attorney Jeff Zimmerman for Damascus Citizens for Sustainability, Inc. and NYH2O, Inc., and Dr. Larysa Dryszka, a former Director of Pediatrics at Holy Name Hospital as well as a steering committee member for the Damascus Citizens.

Animated map of NY Industrialization Bans and Moratoria

May 23, 2012

Lansing resident Roger Hopkins just put together this nice animation of the ban and moratorium maps I’ve been updating for the past year. You can really see how the home rule movement (absent of a real statewide ban) has kicked in.

Seneca Lake Methane Storage Project 31097521420002

May 23, 2012

Inergy has applied for permits for stratigraphic test wells. What they’re doing is opening and preparing depleted salt caverns for Natural Gas Liquid storage (aka fracked gas and fracked gas derivatives like Liquefied Petroleum). Their plan is to be ready to store the glut of gas being produced from fracking as soon as the DEC accepts the EIS as final. This decision could come down any day now and we could become the fracked gas storage and transport capital of the USA.
