Variations on a theme. Because some effete sierra club doner with money who's never left the inner boroughs doesn't like fracking, prince Andrew says no fracking anywhere in the state even for you poor bastards in Chautauqua county who have nothing else going on

Don't sleep on the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, friend. Think of all the people that are going to fly into Buffalo and drive 90 minutes to Jamestown in lake effect snow to see some Lucy memorabilia. That will surely be the thing to turn the local economy around, stop the drain brain, and rid the area of heroin.

Banning fracking has certainly brought a ton of jobs there. Ima taxpayer in that county. Doesn't get much worse

Oh, so you're actually a true believer fracker guy. Let's pretend that fracking had zero environmental impact. How does extracting finite fossil fuels help the long-term economic prospects of Jamestown and Dunkirk? They're still desolate cities with essentially zero human capital required for the current economy.

How many locals will be employed in the fracking business? What happens when the natural gas is gone? What happens to the tangential businesses that temporarily benefited from fracking when they are still burdened by high property taxes and state taxes?
