Was Syracuse Right to Ban the Controversial Natural Gas Drilling Process?

Was Syracuse Right to Ban the Controversial Natural Gas Drilling Process? by Amy Goodman, November 4, 2011, Democracy Now!
We are broadcasting from Syracuse, which recently became the third city in New York state to ban the natural gas drilling process known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The Syracuse Common Council voted unanimously last week to ban hydrofracking within city limits. They also voted to limit where fracking wastewater can be stored. … Again, the vote was unanimous, very little opposition, if any—none from the Common Councilors.
