Water Rangers Launch Frack Ad

The New York Water Rangers have launched a TV commercial about fracking as the deadline approaches for the comment period on the issue.

The Water Rangers is a partnership of environmental and community groups working to protect the state's waters and communities.

The commerical will air in Albany during the final week of the public comment period on the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation draft drilling proposals, the revised draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement and proposed regulations, both of which would guide fracking if it's permitted in New York. The comment period ends on January 11.

"Just like the tens of thousands of New Yorkers calling on Governor Cuomo and other state leaders to slow the rush to 'frack' for the gas trapped under our feet, this six-foot-three water ranger demands your attention and respect. And while this particular New York Water Ranger is funny, fracking is not," said Rob Moore, Executive Director, Environmental Advocates of New York, in a news release. "All eyes are on Albany, watching and waiting for state leaders to act responsibly rather than open the floodgates to the gas industry."
