Paterson Orders Halt to Fracking

New York Governor David Paterson has signed an executive order to stop hydraulic fracturing until July 1.

The governor’s order prohibits fracking until the state Department of Environmental Conservation completes a comprehensive review of the fracking process.

But, Paterson also vetoed legislation that would have placed a moratorium on high-volume, horizontal hydraulic drilling and more conventional vertical drilling.
