Some of them -- truly booming because of fracking now that's a process which gets more gas and oil out of -- -- -- does indeed -- of a jobs in new real studies which wants to get in on the action.

There -- a group of chefs yes I'm talking -- Syria people in the kitchen.

If they get their way there will be no fracking in New York joining us now is executive pastry chef and which is -- all -- chef and entrepreneur had to call Lucci.

She is among the 150 chefs who have sent a letter -- Governor Cuomo pushing a ban on -- At a welcome to the program thank you for having me -- -- point number one just give me twenty seconds what's wrong with fracking ago.

Lack of proof for that it really is a clean way of getting natural gas from my -- -- the Marcellus Shale.

We have more than enough proof at this point to really question the fact that it doesn't affect our food systems and our water resources defense will result absolutely.

Is that does absolutely unequivocally from Lisa Jackson the EPA administrator.

In no case have we made a definitive determination that the fracking process has course chemicals to -- to the ground war to second quote again Lisa Jackson EPA administrator.

I'm not aware of any proven case -- from the fracking process has itself affected water.

That's Lisa Jackson off and environmentalists.

At the EPA she directly contradicting -- point.

If she is and I and I I know of these quotes very -- -- believe.

Well it's nothing wrong and yes I mean it's a situation where my mother used to like to say that you believe me or your -- why -- you.

And I mean this woman is an ardent environmentalist.

She isn't yet you reject -- entirely not not -- -- -- I thought they share other things to look at.

That's right I -- -- -- I don't know program recently -- to Roy remote -- and extensive study of eleven different regulatory bodies the Fed at the federal level.

All of whom have looked at -- In those eleven they could not come up with one proven instance well Walter has been contaminated by the fracking process -- won't.

Go.

Okay with.

In my job I'm the -- which to most people seem very limited and elitist in the sense.

The fact is we have to deal every day with farmers.

People who are out there who for the last twenty years have really gotten.

I would say the short end of the stick on any on any level whether it be commodity scary way I'm -- there don't -- that it could and anything else.

Many of these people have.

Spoken up widely they do not have government behind them they do not have big oil behind them saying.

Pretty much admit they signed released and the fracking started.

Their crops died they've gotten sick.

And I think what would have to really be careful of -- that up until recently EPA.

Has not that was an unregulated.

Technique fracking by the EPA this is all very -- I I just I've done a lot of research on this -- and and the idea that this is news is not right.

Because back 1861 liquid nitroglycerin was first used to break rocks and -- and if you ball a lot are a lot of high I think it's it's involve a lot since then and by the way most of the time -- drilling is substantially below even -- the water -- is.

And then once they do their initial hole they do the concrete dates of that this a minute I mean that's.

It I mean it was same maybe you know anecdotally that there could be problems and obviously anything in -- with an attribute some amendment mistakes and there but.

You -- you're talking about it's taken hundreds of thousand people who could have a job Heather you know you're saying I don't want to have a.

I -- I have -- I'm saying work now I'm not saying no natural gas.

But you can do it by way traditional wealthy -- was that the released into New York State business hundreds of thousands of jobs would be created high paying jobs at no cost of the don't you denying those people who don't know I'm not denying a -- alternate ways of doing -- Why why can't we use traditional wells -- after.

-- -- -- -- -- If the ship as the Marcellus Shale a rock formation that don't look Pennsylvania and on the New York yeah and I know exactly conventional methods do not that and I get get conventional methods do not get the gas -- -- and -- we -- develop Iraq all the time.

Read it look and go out to these people's places go look at the people who are actually working trying to save their farms their land we're talking partly and that.

That's the unknown to you I don't -- Because I own extensive property and a ball to the mosques on the show you so I go back probably too high a high property is virtually lived and I've met a lot of farmers who want to Phrack.

Because they -- Decided that -- I agree that my own -- birds are.

Would like a -- more than anything and honestly I don't have this conversation with them because I've seen how they suffered over the years something they have -- -- yeah.

They're gonna lose their opponent absolutely you want denying them the chance to keep -- phone now I want you all I want us to be able to question more.

The list of chemicals that are using these things you can't not -- to really into the act and not a thing -- talk about man made mistakes here in the -- man in the I -- and that with chemicals that are not.

The fact alone goes -- -- you that are out there and are they eat gasoline and we need it and and it's and it's Pennsylvania it's an an economic miracle hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Billions of dollars in tax and tax revenues in its in North Dakota is the most amazing stay in this country right now it was a dead state it was dead of a dirt in the summer and winter time -- -- -- some flowers in the summertime it was -- it's the most vibrant place in America right now and there.

Also having a lot of hard time with like health and I -- And it's not.

And it's not coming to police when his how we gonna end and his what we're gonna do it's -- it's over already yeah that -- so did you guys are times this is Lisa I don't.

-- a correspondent Lisa Jackson.

OK and then I am not aware of any proven case -- the fracking process has itself affected the -- And the.

Now if they want things done when I was in the green and I was listening to you talking about a Chesapeake and those studies and a feeling is definitely -- no excuse me I'd suggest that he has.

Opened up one well to the EPA went -- -- -- they do what a second wait a second totally opened it -- before they drilled join the drilling.

After the drilling will be extensive test how well.

Numerous wells that.

Think this is the study from -- They have studied numerous well what are Chesapeake is going over bullets saying come on and -- -- what when I originally had done this us economy five -- I'll end it's no good.

You're still ahead at no good we appreciate the opinion of a -- on the issue of -- Racking I'm women who -- Cummins is again back button topic if we think -- done.

Thanks for being with.
