To Green or Not to Green Casey Markus

Its pretty obvious how Howie Hawkins, candidate for the green party, feels about fracking. He is severely against it. Fracking would destroy the environment in his eyes. He even says "It should be abundantly clear that Fracking must be banned in the state of New York. That was the position I took in 2010 when I ran for Governor and that continues to be my position" (howiehawkins.org). He believes that fracking would pollute our water and kill our fish, not to mention the jobs made by it would only be temporary. His plan is to make NYC completely green, use only clean energy, which will make a lot of jobs that he believes will last longer, and he and the green party "Green Party Calls for New York to Go Carbon Free by 2030" to get the government to completely pay for it. I personally agree with this because if we can run off green energy we will be practically self sufficient, despite the costs, and the need for some fuel. This could be the start of a beautiful green revolution, one that could encompass the entire country, and maybe one day, the world.
