Ban toxic drilling chemicals which threaten humans, wildlife and aquatic life.

The Issue

Citizens deserve a voice in government.  The government chose to exempt toxic fracturing drilling chemicals from the Safe Drinking Water Act.  All drinking water supplies whether public or private are now threatened near natural gas drilling with toxic poisons used in the drilling process.

Fossil fuels are not renewable.  Ban the use of toxic chemicals used in natural gas drilling process. We demand safer drilling technology and a ban on toxic drilling fluids.

Solar energy  is renewable energy.  It does not destroy our environmental essentials for life which are:  clean air, water and soil.

Tell your elected officials to ban toxic drilling chemicals before it is too late.

Sandra McDanielPetition StarterChanges were made in Congress in 2005 which allowed the natural gas industry to profit at the expense of the environment which now threatens the health of humans, wildlife and aquatic. Poisons are in the water and soil in Clearville, PA. Poison is in the air from three compressor stations. In 2005 Congress exempted the gas industry toxic chemicals in the Safe Drinking Water Act, The Clear Water Act and air emissions in the Clean Air Act. Congress knew the plan and knew what was needed for the corporations to do their job. They exempted anything which was in their way including fracturing chemicals.
