Moratorium on fracking in CA
Put a moratorium on all fracking in the state of CA until an EXTENSIVE and thorough non-biased environmental and human health impact analysis is completed.
Why is this important?
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.
