But Cuomo's announcement was welcomed by environmental groups.
"Mounting scientific evidence points to serious health risks from fracking operations," said Kate Sinding, deputy director of the New York program at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Hybrid and Natural Gas-fuelled Cars are More Environment Friendly
Hybrid cars and natural gas-fuelled cars are more environment friendly than vehicles running on gasoline, due to reduced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Western Diet Linked to Global Warming
Scientists now say that giving up on the western “meat-loaded” diet or, in other words, not eating too much meat is the single most effective way to reduce global warming or cut greenhouse gas effect.
