James Odato has a piece in the Times Union that looks at spin in and out of the state scientific community regarding Marcellus Shale gas drilling, or fracking, where it seems the worst fear scenarios are driving debate… but there are still plenty of concerns. “Former DEC Commissioner Alexander "Pete" Grannis, who now is the first deputy comptroller, said he agrees with Smith that the dangers of fracking are overblown. He thinks the DEC is on course to set solid regulations.”
