Tell PA Governor Wolf: Stop Fracking Now!
Governor Wolf, I call on you to enact a moratorium on fracking in Pennsylvania.
I have visited Pennsylvania communities that have been devastated by fracking. I know people who are sick, and I know people who can no longer drink their water or breathe clean air in their own homes.
Research shows that fracking is harming health and air and water quality, which is why New York banned it.
You have an opportunity to change course by stopping fracking in the state and helping the harmed residents now.
Why is this important?
Documents released from the Pennsylvania Department of Health show that the agency has had a clear pattern of responding inadequately to fracking-related health complaints made by state residents. A recent study found that hospital admissions rates were significantly higher in counties with more fracking wells than in counties with no fracking wells.
Tell Governor Wolf he can no longer ignore the public health problems created by fracking in Pennsylvania. He must act immediately to halt fracking in Pennsylvania and put forward a plan to help individuals already adversely impacted by fracking.
