Jeb: Go frack!

Potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush blasted Gov. Cuomo last night for failing to approve fracking to boost New York’s upstate economy.

Bush, a featured speaker at the state Conservative Party’s annual fund-raising dinner at the Sheraton in Midtown, called hydraulic fracking of natural gas one of America’s great energy innovations.

“We should be celebrating this phenomenal achievement,” said the former Florida governor, who is believed to be considering a GOP presidential run.

He said fracking can be done safely and “create economic activity for all sorts of people who don’t live in Manhattan.”

Cuomo has delayed issuing a fracking ruling, insisting more scientific study is needed.
