Environmental Science Question

Overview

APA 7th edition citation

Using at least three (3) mainstream references. Mainstream means a peer-reviewed science journal, government agency, an article in a major magazine or newspaper, a science-based advocacy group.

Write a 2-3 page letter (Times New Roman 12 point font, double spaced, 1 inch margins), to the Governor of New York, allowing natural gas hydrofracking in the State of New York and what safeguards you would recommend. Write the letter from the point of view of the stakeholder, Constellation Energy (a gas company with hydrofracking skills).

The first paragraph will introduce you and your position (you can be creative here and even make up a character in your stakeholder group if you like).

The next 3 paragraphs will each make a separate and distinct point that backs up your position in the first paragraph. You must justify your point with fact/science (not just an emotional plea).

The last paragraph will contain your summary and your recommendations to the Governor on whether to allow hydrofracking operations in New York and under what circumstances (i.e. regulations).

Background information and letter details are provided in the attachment.
