@GovTrack #fracking is damaging to the earth and human health…no matter that this House of Representatives bill 26’s title is cloaked in “protection” language with the veneer of patriotism. The GOP way: feed the 21st century’s robber barons at all costs.

Hydraulic Fracturing and Health

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a method used to extract natural gas and oil from deep rock formations known as shale. Using this method, drilling operators force water, sand, and a mix of chemicals into horizontally drilled wells, causing the shale to crack and release natural gas or oil.
