Frack/Envir.

"With Governor Hickenlooper's administration standing in the way of adequate oil and gas protections, it's no wonder that Colorado communities are up in arms. By opening a new rulemaking but proposing very weak protections for water quality and drilling close to homes, the state has fallen well short of the standard that will reassure nervous Coloradans. If the state won't step up to the plate and take the lead in protecting citizens from the heavy industrial activity of drilling and fracking, what happened last week in Longmont is going to be repeated up and down the Front Range." - Charlie Montgomery, Energy Organizer, Conservation Colorado
