Fracking

In the middle of a beautiful Ohio summer, explosions, fires and a massive fish die-off at a fracking well emphasized the dangers inherent in working in the fracking industry.

Fracking just doesn’t add up; it causes more social, economic and environmental problems than it solves. Renewable energy sources provide a welcome alternative.

A federal advisory panel has urged the Obama administration to cancel or withdraw leases for natural gas drilling near Glacier National Park in Montana after finding that the wild and scenic area is too sacred for drilling.

Hotter temperatures caused by climate change are melting Glacier National Park’s namesake glaciers and starting fires within the park’s boundaries.
