Florida Beware Of "Energy Citizens"

Beware of this group

Ban Fracking In Florida: Support Rep. Evan Jenne

Rep. Evan Jenne,D-Hollywood, is sponsoring legislation that would ban fracking in Florida. He condemned House Republican leaders. He said the election-year push for more fracking was designed merely to placate the oil and gas industry, a steady GOP contributor. Jenne said the House will “do anything, if it’s going to help their backers make a buck.” here

Florida What’s So Bad About Fracking?

Besides leaking methane under and above ground, which makes people sick (ask Los Angeles), wasting millions of gallons of valuable water (ask California), causing earthquakes (ask Oklahoma), contaminated waste water no one wants, explosions that kill people (ask lots of places), there is one more big effect of fracking: undisclosed toxic chemicals put into our earth. here
----------
The current bills in our Florida legislation purport to “regulate” fracking, but as one representative stated, it is nothing more than a “welcome mat” to 
promote fracking.

The Battle To Keep Florida Frack-Free Is Intensifying

Fracking became an issue last year after Florida’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) revealed that the Dan A. Hughes Co. had fracked the Collier-Hogan well in Naples, despite regulators telling it not to until the agency had a chance to thoroughly review the company’s plans. Shortly after the news broke, the move to ban fracking in Florida began. here

Florida Wants To Ban Fracking Bans

Big Oil is at it again. Their allies in the legislature are trying to ban cities and counties from either regulating or banning fracking. 
HB 191 and SB 318 
would deny local communities the ability to regulate fracking would not only stop proposed rules going forward, but be retroactive and eliminate rules already in place. Take action by signing the petition and tell the Florida Legislature to reject HB 191 and SB 318. Communities should be able to protect their land and water from fracking.
