New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) will ban hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, in his state, officials announced Wednesday.
"I will be bound by what the experts say," Cuomo said at a press conference.
I have had problems with Cuomo, but credit where credit is due.
Thanks Gov.

Yes, credit where credit is due.
This is great news!
