COVERT NY – A NATURAL GAS BATTLEGROUND. The Town of Covert, New York, is small, rural, agricultural, and not the kind of place you would expect a battle to be taking place. The headline should probably read David battles Goliath.  What is happening in Covert NY is a story of people taking on the natural gas giants and their own town government.
