Fracking is a failed technology. It assaults established environmental laws.

Fracking was developed and first used in 1860s by Standard Oil and Gas Company. It is antiquated and only brought back because the petroleum industry is desperate.

On October 19, 2013, the Global Frackdown (click here) will unite concerned citizens around the globe to tell elected officials that we want a future lit by clean, renewable energy; not dirty, polluting fossil fuels. The journey to a renewable energy future will not be fueled by shale gas. Take a stand against fracking — find an event near you and join the Frackdown!

If a modern technology can't meet expectations, including environmental regulations then it needs to be abandoned.

Natural gas (click here) and petroleum systems are the largest source of CH₄ emissions from industry in the United States.

The petroleum industry has promised fracking was a safe form of fuel. It is not. It is proven to be not. The petroleum industry has failed their stated purpose for supplying a alternative fuel in methane. It needs to end!

Fracking is a failure.
