Geddes, N.Y. -- About 100 anti-fracking activists rallied outside the New York State Fair today on the fair's Governor's Day, calling upon Gov. Andrew Cuomo to ban the drilling.

"Ban fracking now and let's build an energy system that protects the things we love," said activist Jessica Azulay. "We are not trying to kill jobs or economic development -- we are saying yes to renewable energy and the thousands of jobs it will create."
