Federal Bill Introduced to Ban Fracking on Public Lands
As fossil fuel interests hungrily eye public lands set aside for recreational use, tourism and natural, historical and cultural preservation, Wisconsin congressman Mark Pocan, with Illinois Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, introduced a bill yesterday to ban fracking on publicly owned lands. It’s the strongest bill introduced in Congress so far to take a stand against fracking.
