[av_heading heading='Fracking in Illinois Running Out of Gas' tag='h3' style='blockquote modern-quote' size='' subheading_active='subheading_below' subheading_size='15' padding='10' color='' custom_font=''] Written by: Tammy Webber/AP | Photo by: Kate Ausburn / Flickr [/av_heading] High-volume oil and gas extraction probably won't begin in earnest in Illinois until next year because the state first must adopt rules and hire dozens of new employees to help regulate an industry eagerly pushing into new territory.
