Maryland Lawmaker Proposes Legislation to Ban Drilling in that State
It appears the constant drumbeat that hydraulic fracturing is evil (coming from extremist environmental groups) is having the desired effect. At least on Democrat state politicians. Now it looks like Maryland may ban drilling in the Marcellus Shale that runs under a tiny section of that state:
Maryland state Del. Heather Mizeur (D-Montgomery County), is preparing legislation to ban drilling in the state until it is determined that it will not taint water. “We expect robust support,” she said. “The fuel source isn’t bad, we’re just concerned about the extraction method.”*

NIMBY. I’ll continue to heat my home, dry my clothing, heat my water and cook my food using natural gas produced elsewhere via the same (and proven) methods. These people kill me.
