Hawkins: To Green or not To Green? (Celina Santin)

Howie Hawkins, as an advocate of the environment, believes in renewable resources and is against Hydraulic fracking and claims that Cuomo is completely for fracking.

"I met with homeowners who have seen their land and property values destroyed. The people I met with have to buy water that is brought in because their well water is no longer potable. And drilling continues in the area, despite a court order that Cabot Oil must stop their operations there. This is an area that was at one time calm and peaceful, and now it's completely industrialized." If Governor Cuomo gives the green light for Fracking, does he have a plan on how to deal with cleaning up contaminated water systems like those we saw last week in Pennsylvania?" said Howie Hawkins.

He believe that tracking has more cons than pros, especially polluting our finite amount of water,  with it's chemicals. In Pennsylvania, he has seen how it has affected people so far and does not want tracking to be approved. He also doesn't believe that pennsylvania's fluids should be disposed of in new york. 
"The center piece of the Hawkins for Governor campaign is the Green New Deal, which sets a goal of transitioning to a 100% clean, renewable energy system in New York by 2030. Clean energy is also the path to full employment and affordable power. A study by Stanford and Cornell professors shows that a 15-year a transition to 100% clean renewables would create 4.5 million new jobs and cut electric power rates in half."(howiehawkins.org)
I agree with Hawkins with his green deal, new renewable energy is really important and it he says that it would provide us with a substitution of a pro for tracking: new jobs. New jobs are important, especially in a short amount of time. I agree with Hawkins completely with Fracking because I think it's too dangerous because we do not have the money to fund it and we cannot afford to spend more than needed, and because of the contamination it can cause in water. Also, I do agree with his plan as candidate to increase renewable resources  because there would be no pollution, new jobs, and because we can be more independent and efficient.
