Fracking Oil Spill Releases 6,000 Gallons of Oil in Waterbury, Connecticut
Mainland Drilling with Fracking and Offshore Drilling Shows Additional Signs of Unsafe Conditions On Saturday, January 20 the city of Waterbury, Connecticut experienced an oil leak due to a valve malfunction. This incident clearly shows a reoccurring health and environmental problem with drilling for fossil fuel. In this case the oil has leaked out into the Naugatuck River. NBC Connecticut spoke with DEEP Emergency Response Unit Supervisor Jeff Chandler and reported: "There will be a large portion of the oil that has already moved downstream that we’re not going to be able to collect once it gets to the point where
The Trump Administration Deregulates Fracking on Federal Land
Transparency Is Vital to Democracy The phrase of 'poisoning the well' is a form of logic used to discredit a side of an argument by undermining factual data. By voting for President Trump, citizens of the United States indirectly poisoned their own wells. The mistake of allowing the Trump Administration in office has now allowed his team to deregulate fracking on federal and Indian land in the United States. It is beyond logic to vote for a politician that would remove regulations creating transparency for companies using dangerous chemicals. Many Americans were hoping that the Trump Administration would be a
France Bans Fracking and the United Kingdom Stalls on Production
France Takes A Step Forward to a Future Fueled by Renewable Energy Countries in Europe have been working to ban and slow down the overall production of fracking. France has recently continued their ban on this energy extraction model. Fracking companies should follow the lead of China and transfer their funds over to renewable energy.

[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. Gov. Pat Quinn promised a quick signature on a measure the Legislature approved last week that would impose the nation's strictest regulations on hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," which he says would create thousands of sorely

In 2015, fracking should have been already been banned in Illinois, but currently has not been outlawed in this state as of March 30, 2015. Oil prices and demand in 2014 was low, creating less demand overall, and decreased the cost efficiency for energy companies to work with within the shale/oil industry. The summer months usually create
