Fracking in California would be insane. We are the food basket of the United States. Do you really want to chance contaminating the water that irrigates the food that feeds the nation. Earthquake is another big scare.

Huge amounts of water mixed with unregulated toxic chemicals are injected into the ground to release oil and gas. Fracking contaminates ground water, soil and air and poses serious health risks. Fracking has triggered earth quakes and is currently done on top of the San Andreas fault line. Fracking is unsafe for California and it's residents. It needs to be banned to protect residents, land and water supplies.

State Legislators and the Governor have permitted oil companies to use toxic chemicals to poison our water table, and penetrate the San Andreas faultline. California is already at risk with earthquake activity, but fracking will guarantee a major earthquake.

Getting the Town of Hartwick to institute a ban on the practice of Hydraulic Fracturing for Natural Gas and to prevent the possibility of being a disposal site for "produced" water.

We're past the tipping point of reversing the affects of climate change. What we need to do now is become more innovative and not lose sight of ending what escalated it to begin with. Renewable energy initiatives around the world are creating a significant number of jobs while oil, coal and gas are building more automated processes to reduce manpower. If you could vote to improve the economy, create a significant number of jobs nationally and internationally, reduce the deficit and end climate change by supporting renewable energy initiatives...would you? Sign the petition if you see this as a viable effort for our leaders to follow through on!

I remember what BP did to the gulf coast.

Hydraulic fracturing for the purpose of natural gas production is a completely unacceptable technology for use in the state of Michigan. Fracking in the United States and throughout the world has resulted in horrendous disaster for citizens of the world.

Fracking has proven to be among the dirtiest mining technologies. Fracking is proven to release extremely dangerous amounts of methane into the air in addition to more hazardous and poisonous chemicals into the water table. The BLM's recent failure to consider any environmental impact analysis on fracking in CA shows the Obama administration prioritizes fossil fuel exploration over the environment and public health. Therefore it is up to CA state governance to put peoples' health and preserving what is left of the health our the environment--that we depend upon for clean air and WATER--as a first priority. We insist upon a moratorium on fracking in CA until a STATE run human health and environmental impact analysis is done.

Fracking results in extensive contamination of water, a precious resource. It is important instead to develop immediately, alternative sources of energy such as wind, solar and hydroelectric energy as well as to deploy a better energy grid.

Fracking contaminates our water system permanently. It is detrimental to the health of humans, animals, plants, and our food supply. Our community's health and well-being should be our top priority. We do not want to lend our support to the FRACTURING of our only Home.

Please stop fracking. As residents of DC, we are tired of earthquakes and national monuments crumbling. Also, we would like to keep our drinking water safe and clean. The water we drink comes from other states, so fracking must stop nationally. We would like to see the country move towards 100% renewable energy sources and we'd like to see the end of the dirty exploitation of our natural resources. Remove the exemption from the Safe Drinking Water for the fracking industry and hold energy companies accountable. Thank you.

At stake: our water, our land, our air
