Fracking banned in its birthplace: Texas town votes to outlaw hydraulic fracturing

Posted by: JWL on Nov 05, 08:49

Fracking has been linked to groundwater contamination, an uptick in earthquakes, exacerbation of drought conditions and a host of health concerns for humans and the local environment.

Energy giant Exxon Mobil was the first to use hydraulic fracking, in the Barnett shale area. The company’s CEO, an ardent fracking evangelist, was involved in a lawsuit as of earlier this year to rid his own suburban Texas neighborhood of fracking, operations of which were “creating a noise nuisance and traffic hazards,” according to the suit.
