It's Fracking Happening


Remember hydraulic fracturing? It's come to Pennsylvania and Upstate New York, and it's already contaminating our water.
The DEP [Department of Environmental Protection] has found that Cabot operations have caused unacceptable levels of methane to get into private water supplies. Four wells have been taken offline to prevent explosions and at least a dozen are being tested regularly. The company also installed systems at some homes to either take out natural gas or other contamination that has been linked to drilling.

What can we do to stop these people from poisoning our watershed?

We can start by supporting HR 2766 (FRAC ACT) and close the Halliburton Loop Hole.
