Fracking Debate Heats Up As Moratorium Bill Goes To Gov

Although the moratorium by itself is inadequate to protect us, it is a step in the right direction and offers a bit more protection than what we currently have. To say that vertical hydrofracking is safe is absurd. How the industry, coalition leaders and some politicians have the gall to still say this in spite of evidence to the contrary is disgusting and should be a crime. What is unfortunate is that there is not yet an outright ban on all the drilling and associated activities such as pipelines, acceptance of drilling waste from PA, spreading of “brine” on our roads etc. I am glad that we have some politicians making an effort on our behalf but it is not enough. The SGEIS needs to be withdrawn as inadequate and all drilling banned before our property, water, air and our health is destroyed. I can’t believe this has been allowed to occur in the U.S. I do appreciate those who are making a sincere effort to protect us, of which this moratorium is a baby step in that direction. We have a long way to go to get real protection.
Sincerely, Kim
