Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon and Artists Against Fracking are urging New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo not to rush a study investigating the potential health effects of permitting hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to remove natural gas trapped underground. Cuomo faces a November 29th regulatory deadline to determine whether to allow fracking. In an open letter to the governor, Artists Against Fracking write that "no legitimate, credible health study can possibly be completed by next month.
" Missing the deadline would force New York to draft new regulations, as well as reopen a window for public comment. Full text of the letter follows below.
"We call on Governor Andrew Cuomo to clearly announce that he will not rush his health study of the effects of fracking for gas in order to meet an upcoming November 29th regulatory deadline.
