A new group called Americans Against Fracking, which claims more than 100 members including environmental, civic and religious groups, said it seeks a national ban on hydraulic fracturing "and drilling associated with fracking." The group in a news release says that efforts to regulate the industry have been unsuccessful and only an outright ban will suffice, along with restrictions on related oil and gas production activities. "Americans Against Fracking supports federal, state and local efforts to ban fracking and to stop practices that facilitate fracking like natural gas exports, frac sand mining and pipeline construction." It calls for a move away from fossil fuels toward renewables. The group's website is here.

We were able to stop fracking in Southlake, TX at least for now. You can never let your guard down with those big energy corporations. This is a funny cartoon that points out some of the dangers of fracking for the general public.

I support anti-fracking and will back all efforts against this harmful process that ruins the water and land.
