Democrats in Michigan Introduce Bill to Ban ALL Fracking
What is it with Democrats? Are they congenitally anti-drilling? Last week Michigan Democrats introduced a bill that would ban all hydraulic fracturing in the state. But just in case fracking still happens, the bill empowers local municipalities regulate it, and the bill requires wells to be at least a mile away from "sensitive locations" like schools, hospitals, homes and public parks.
