Stop Drilling & Fracking in Ohio's Parks
Ohio officials are preparing for potential gas and oil drilling in Ohio state parks and forests, which were opened to drilling under a law enacted last year.
Why is this important?
Environmentalists have expressed concerns about pollution from drilling and the method known as hydraulic fracturing, which blasts millions of gallons of chemically laced water into the earth to fracture shale formations and release oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids such as propane.
Governor Kasich is relying on this plan to create jobs for Ohioans. However, like the non-renewable resources he wants to drill for, the jobs too will run out.
Please tell Gov. Kasich to stop this potentially irreversible damage to Ohio's parks and groundwater, and instead research and implement renewable resources for creating energy in Ohio.
