The Center for Biological Diversity filed a notice today of its intent to sue the Environmental Protection Agency for approving Pennsylvania’s inadequate plan to clean up smog from the methane gas industry. The methane gas is mainly extracted using hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
Pennsylvania’s plan to control the smog caused by fracking is based on outdated technology and guidance from 1983. In recent decades vastly improved methods have been developed for capturing and limiting the dangerous fossil fuel emissions that play a large role in smog pollution. But the EPA has failed to consistently require that smog-reduction plans incorporate those technologies, so fossil fuel industries have failed to make use of them.

Emilie Hauger has been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine in Auburn. On Wednesday, she received her inoculation.Â
Hauger, the director of outpatient specialty services at Auburn Community Hospital, was one of approximately 200 frontline health care workers at the hospital who were given their first dose of the Moderna vaccine. The two COVID-19 vaccines approved by federal regulators â Pfizer produced the other â require two doses over a three-week period.Â
For Hauger and other hospital employees, the vaccine arrived at an important point of the pandemic. Cayuga County has more than 600 active COVID-19 cases and over 3,500 people in quarantine. There are 35 COVID-19 patients at Auburn hospital, which is a new record.Â
