I hope it gets into the 25% of the comments the DEC has not thrown out. Note, however that "efficiently exploit(ing) the state's natural gas resources" is NOT the DEC's job, even though it would have you believe that. Its job is to conserve natural resources, not exploit them, and, where they are exploited, to be sure they are not wasted; and "wasted" does not mean harvested in a manner that is economically inefficient. It means allowing the resource to escape into the ground, or water, or the air during exploitation, so as to make it unavailable for present or future use.
