Vermont and fracking
{{#badges: CoalSwarm|Navbar-fracking}} On April 12, 2012, the Vermont Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee voted unanimously for a bill that would ban hydraulic fracturing for natural gas in the state. The bill (H.464) was amended by the Senate Committee after passing the House of Representatives as a three year moratorium. The updated bill prohibits the use of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas in Vermont, requests regular reports from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, and prohibits collection, storage, or treatment of fracking wastewater in the state. The bill still needs to be passed by the full Senate and then reconciled with the House version before it becomes law.[1]
