Florida Vote No on Fracking Bills

NO on HB 1205/SB 1468 and HB 1209/SB 1582. These bills would allow more dangerous fracking in our state, and prevent Floridians from knowing what chemicals are being used in the process.

Florida should ban fracking, which is why we support HB 169/SB 166, and encourage you to do the same. Florida is the Sunshine State and we should be investing in clean energy sources of the future, like solar, rather than clinging to the polluting industries of the past. here

Support SB 166: Ban Fracking In Florida

Florida's delicate ecology and vast underground aquifer system are in danger from fracking.

We’re at an important moment in the debate over this critical issue: Sens. Darren Soto (D-Orlando) and Dwight Bullard (D-Miami) have introduced SB 166, a statewide ban on this dangerous threat to our water, our environment, and the health of our communities.

Sign our petition urging legislators to support SB 166 and finally remove the threat of fracking from endangering the Florida we love.

Protect Florida’s Future, Ban Fracking

Imagine a future where Florida’s soil and air are contaminated, iconic endangered species like the Florida panther are lost forever and our drinking water is poisoned. Unfortunately it could happen if we don’t put a stop to new oil and gas extraction 
process known as acid fracking. here

Jeb's legacy is taking a huge hit

One of Bush's finest moments came in 2002, when he and President George W. Bush pledged a 50-50 state-federal partnership to clean up the Everglades. Gov. Bush did secure state funding. Federal funding, however, lagged. Republican deficit hawks played a part in that. And Gov. Bush significantly undermined his own work when he agreed to delay clean-water standards for a decade. here

The Sun Sentinel reported last week, oil companies are taking advantage of Florida's chronically lax environmental laws to begin a form of fracking — fracturing of underground rock to release oil — in sensitive areas close to the Everglades. Republicans who dominated the Legislature since Jeb's tenure have failed to approve rules to protect the Everglades from fracking

Ban Fracking In Florida

Recently, the Dan A. Hughes Co. of Texas was given a minor slap on the wrist by Gov. Scott's Department of Environmental Protection for secretly and illegally fracking on endangered Florida panther habitat in the heart of the western Everglades.
Now more than ever we must act to protect the Florida we love. 
Add your voice to the voices of Floridians saying it's time to end fracking by signing the petition. here

Stop Fracking In Florida: Hydraulic Fracturing In Naples

Oil Drilling Truck Convoy headed for Naples 
One of the newest controversies in the field of oil and gas extraction is playing out in South Florida, just outside of the City of Naples. While there has been history of oil and gas development, both on- and off-shore in Florida since the 1940s, the risks of fracturing rock to extract hydrocarbons more than 10,000 feet below the surface, has been gaining much attention recently.......more>
 
Preserve Our Paradise, Inc. was formed when we learned that the Dan A. Hughes Company of Beeville, Texas had applied to drill a well that presents maximal threats to public safety and our natural environment.  It is positioned to drill under the City of Naples main water wellfield, the future Collier County water wellfield area, the Florida Panther National Wildlife Preserve, and the residential suburb of Golden Gate Estates.....here
