Moderator Bob Liff and a panel of experts debate the issue of hydraulic fracturing, a/k/a "hydrofracking," in New York. As the controversy heats up over drilling for natural gas in Upstate New York, public policy makers must wrestle with competing strategies for badly needed economic growth, as well as broader contests surrounding energy production versus environmental hazards. Should we go forward with hydrofracking, as nearby Pennsylvania and Ohio have done? Do the economic benefits outweigh the environmental risks? Whose science is to be believed? Whose property rights should prevail? What will Governor Cuomo and the New York State Legislature do to resolve this controversy? (Taped: 2/29/12)

The CUNY Forum is a monthly town meeting that brings prominent New Yorkers together with faculty and students of the Edward T. Rogowsky Internship Program in Government and Public Affairs.
