Fracking has been suspected to cause water pollution for years. Some states allow it, some don't. New York's governor banned the oil/gas extraction method a year ago. He was advised to do so because of "potential health and environmental impacts."
Gov. Cuomo said, "let's ask the qualified experts." At that time, almost a year ago, New York's acting health commissioner said that there were not yet enough studies to show that fracking is safe, that "bona fide scientific literature is only now emerging."
A key piece of science has come out:
"Yale researchers have confirmed that hydraulic fracturing – also known as "fracking" – does not contaminate drinking water."
Good news! I'm guessing that the conclusion of Yale University is "bona fide scientific literature," so we can believe that fracking does not cause water pollution.
