Scientists in Oklahoma are linking an unprecedented surge of earthquakes to the increased use of fracking, and warning that it will only get worse.
The vast majority of European countries strongly regulate or ban this deeply invasive and unpredictable practice. America stands alone as the champion of environmental destruction.
Call on our government to complete independent studies on the environmental impacts of fracking and suspend the destruction of our natural resources!
Why is this important?
We are drilling thousands of feet into the earth and injecting, on average, four and a half million gallons of pressurized sludge into cracks between subterranean rocks. Is it really surprising that this is leading to increased seismic activity?
