(20,453 posts)We (here in PA) are caught up in the fight against fracking. Most people living in my part of Allegheny county (SW PA) don't understand that Bear Run (Westmoreland county) will have fracking around it soon, as wells develop and are pushed to require less stringency by the very agency that is supposed to protect it.

(5,562 posts)The natives stopped fracking in their territory in northern BC headwaters where it was being proposed quite a few years ago, even before the dangers of this really entered our collective provincial consciousness. Now the BC gov't is basing the entire prosperity of the province on fracking insanity.
Its a big fight for everyone. Good luck, North Carolina, it can be stopped.

(9,911 posts)My relatives around Chattanooga get their water from the Tennessee. This could affect the water supplies of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and Louisiana as well as North Carolina. Where I grew up in northwest Georgia is in a different watershed. This is scary stuff!

This is NOT a local issue.
The Oil Corps WILL keep fracking,
and out current "politicians" will keep letting them frac
until WE stop them.
Solidarity!

(4,314 posts)There are a growing number of Jenny Lysak's. People are standing up as they see their neighborhoods, communities and planet ruined by the voracious appetite of extreme profit from energy extraction at a time when we should be creating a carbon-free/nuclear-free energy environment. People are learning they have more power than they realize and are being inspired to use it.
