Vermont legislature considers becoming the first state to ban hydrofracking
.. the Legislature and Gov. Peter Shumlin are considering banning the practice, commonly called hydrofracking. Vermont would become the first state to do so.
"This is kind of saying, 'Don't bother. Close the door on the issue,'" said Rep. Tony Klein, D-East Montpelier, sponsor of a bill the House Fish & Wildlife Committee is preparing to vote on this week. "It's about protecting our most precious resource -- our groundwater."
