New York’s Buried Opportunity: Cuomo’s Policy Prevents Prosperity While Pennsylvanians Flourish
New York and Pennsylvania share a border and access to the Marcellus Shale – the largest natural gas
field in the United States. But they do not share similar approaches to energy development.
Pennsylvania has harnessed the potential of the Marcellus Shale and fracking technology. New York has
taken the opposite approach by banning fracking and using creative legal tactics to try and block
pipelines in the state. These divergent energy policies have had a major impact on each state’s economy
and population.
