In case you missed it over the weekend, we've uploaded the full New York NOW interview with New York's Department of Environmental Conservation commissioner, Joe Martens.

- Timetable: When will permits be issued?
- Safety: Problems in Pennsylvania, and concerns about chemicals in fracking fluid
- Fairness: Why is fracking banned in NYC and Syracuse watersheds?
