Hydraulic Fracturing Opponents Rally At State Capitol
- {West Virginia}...More than 100 opponents of hydraulic fracturing rallied outside the state Capitol Monday calling on West Virginia officials to halt its use in the state’s Marcellus shale natural gas field. They want a moratorium in the absence of regulations specifically written for Marcellus shale drilling. The West Virginia Legislature failed to pass a Marcellus rules bill during this year’s regular session. A House-Senate committee is now attempting a compromise measure that could be considered in special session.
