Health risks from fracking mean it should be banned in Florida
There are many reasons to ban fracking in Florida. It’s not just about climate change.
For the past three years, doctors from the Nobel-Prize-winning group Physicians for Social Responsibility have presented at Florida’s legislative meetings imploring lawmakers to ban fracking. We need to ban fracking in Florida, not regulate it. Regulation doesn’t make fracking safe.
EPA can’t define risk without better research
Does fracking contaminate groundwater? This is a critical question surrounding the development of oil and gas using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”.

Trempealeau County vs. frac-sand mining company headed to state Supreme Court
The Wisconsin Supreme Court is getting ready to hear arguments in a lawsuit over frac-sand mining in Trempealeau County.
Back in May, an appeals court ruled in favor of the county, saying its government did not violate any laws by rejecting an All Energy Corp. sand mining permit in the Arcadia, Wis., area. All Energy wanted argued that a county committee had “hidden reasons” for turning down the mine project three years ago – though those reasons were not disclosed.
Latest Oklahoma drilling/quake plan a welcome move
SCIENTISTS have found a tie between earthquake activity in Oklahoma and the disposal deep underground of wastewater from oil and gas drilling rigs, and state regulators have acted to mitigate the likelihood of causing seismic activity. Now regulators, putting caution first, are eyeing hydraulic fracturing as well.
A Last Resort That Might Work: Small Town Votes in Community Bill of Rights to Ban Fracking
Concerned about the pipeline’s potential effects on air and water, residents appealed in March to local elected officials, who said it was up to state and federal agencies to approve or deny the project. Then they turned to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
New Oil and Gas Development Halted in Los Padres

PolitiFact: Did Rex Tillerson sue to keep fracking out of own back yard?
Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of state, doesn’t have a problem with fracking until it affects him, says a consumer rights group.
“ExxonMobil is a major player in the fracking industry, and #ExxonKnew climate change was a problem for decades, but covered up the evidence,” reads a campaign letter from Food & Water Watch. “Tillerson infamously sued to keep a fracking project out of his backyard, but seems happy to profit off fracking in other people’s backyards.”
