Lance Bass To Cuomo: Don’t Frack

State of Politcs

Erstwhile N*Sync band member Lance Bass is urging Gov. Andrew Cuomo to make hydrofracking illegal in New York.

In a video posted on YouTube today by the group Americans Against Fracking, Bass asks, “What the frack, Governor Cuomo? Fracking makes climate change worse. So please, make hydrofracking illegal today.”

The video comes as Cuomo heads to Buffalo for a fundraiser that is expected to draw protestors for and against hydrofracking.

The state Department of Health is still undertaking a review of whether hydrofracking is hazardous to human health, and no permits for high-volume hydrofracking have been granted in New York.
